Root has just been hacked. It seems possible that the hacker got in via the install.php file.
I’m posting this not to create panic, but to warn people of this potential issue. It’s up to you of course, but it’s probably wise to delete both the install.php and upgrade.php files located in your wp-admin directory as a precaution. I’ve already done so myself.

More on this issue in the WP support forums.
I’ve been contemplating buying a Flickr pro account recently. It seems like a good way to store and share photo’s. However I can’t seem to get it working with WordPress 1.5, it keeps telling me that my API endpoint isn’t valid or something.
I know I have the URL right – http://www.thekatswhiskers.com/xmlrpc.php yet it just won’t work. Any ideas why?
Hope I can find a solution to this, otherwise I’ll be hunting for some kind of photo gallery plugin.
There have been many brilliant entries to the OSSCAS, it’s been a pleasure to judge. But now it’s all over, and the winners have been announced!
Congratulations to all, and a special congratulations to Father Luke who won both in the Writing category and 1st prize! A well deserved win I feel.
And a big thank you to everyone who took part, from those who submitted their sites, to the judges (especially Shadow who has worked very hard), it was a great experience. I hope we can do it again sometime.
The bestest and most fantabulous WordPress content competition, the OSSCAS is well underway!
Have you entered yet? If not, why not? All are welcome (well, provided your blog is powered by WordPress anyway), and if nothing else it will gain your blog some exposure.
So what are you waiting for? Get over there and enter! NOW!
The winners of the Alex King Theme Competition have been announced. A huge congratulations to all those who won a prize (especially Khaled, none were more deserving I think).
Did I win? Of course I did! Not a prize, but I still feel like I won something in just being able to take part. The talent on display and just the sheer amount of submissions was outstanding. As has already been said, we’re all winners in this one.
