When I started this blog, I was determined to update the blog-software (wordpress) on a regular base. A couple of weeks ago I realized that I hadn’t updated this ever yet. Despite that realization, what I was afraid for became true this night. My very outdated version of WP was kind of hacked for sending spam. Now I haven’t fully investigated this yet, but it seems like the commenting function was abused (version 2.0.2).
I moved this site to one of my own servers (that explains the current url, gonna work on that), and tried to upgrade it to 2.5 (the latest version). Unfortunately, the upgrade script delivered with WP2.5 is not capable of making such a big jump at once, so I upgraded from 2.0.2 to 2.2, to 2.3 to 2.5. And as far as I can see, it al functions well (gotta transfer the attachments and stylesheets still).
