WordPress 2.6.1 Update Completed

The CWF Game Cast has completed its update from its 2.6 version of WordPress to 2.61. Why do this, you may ask. Instead of trying to explain it all to you, the WordPress people did a great job of it already.

Please read WordPress 2.6.1 at the official WordPress blog. That explains all the reasons why we are updating.

The upgrade was performed using the automatic upgrade plugin making this easy as bulls-eying womp rats on Tatooine.  We even updated all our plugins and finished everything in less than 12 minutes.  Version 2.6.1 fixes a slew of bugs in v2.6 including one that’s very close to our heart.  We utilize a lot of plugins to make your visiting experience as good as humanly possible.  Sometimes that can slow the blog down.  This new version of WordPress remedies that situation allowing us to make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.

Couple this with our previous installation and activation of Gears and we arrive at speedier blogging. If you have a user account and use either Internet Explorer or Firefox please do the following. Sign into your account. Go to Site Admin. At the top right of the screen you’ll see your username, Log Out, Help, Forums, and Turbo. Click on Turbo and then install and activate Gears. If you are on a dial-up connection (i.e. AOL) you’ll receive a speedier user experience on the blog.
