WordPress Security Tip #3

Help keep your WordPress blog hack-free by regularly updating the core files. It’s easy to do by yourself.

Warning: Be Sure To Back Up Your Database First! You’ve been warned!

Log into your admin dashboard. If an update is available, WordPress will let you know here:

dashboard_coreupdate

And here as well:

dashboard_coreupdate2

The update can take a few minutes, typically you’ll get no errors unless you have a heavily modified core install (very unlikely, but you I don’t know you).
