Time To Upgrade Your WordPress
If you’ve been a customer of Blog Content Provider for some time then there is a chance that you are still on WordPress 2.6.1, but the latest version of WordPress is 2.7.1. In fact, developers are currently working on 2.8.
We don’t recommend upgrading with every new release, but we do recommend upgrading about once a year (at the least). The reason you want to upgrade your WordPress to the latest version from time to time is because older versions frequently pose a security risk. If you are running an older version of any software then you are making yourself vulnerable to hackers and other malicious online creatures. We’d hate to see anything bad happen to you.
If you need to upgrade WordPress, let us know. We’ll be glad to help. If you’d prefer to do it yourself, that’s OK too, but you need to get it done.

2.7.1 is recommended not only because of possible security risks with older versions of wordpress. The latest version is cool. I like the auto-upgrade feature and plugin installer
