Every update has had some significant security enhancements. And the latest versions even have cool things like threaded comments. Check my WordPress Plugins page for the very easy-to-use WordPress One-Click Updater, or just use the link in your notification on the Dashboard. Either way, the upgrade process is very quick and painless. You also might want to try out Windows Live Writer (unless you're on a Mac) to compose your articles; it really does nice things for pictures! (Captions are generally a pain, I've found, but perhaps others have solutions for that.) If nothing else, using the default WordPress settings, you can "Float Left/Right/Center" your images, add borders, and white space. By all means, update to the latest version of WordPress!

I was on Blogger, then my husband set me up with WP, but I really don't understand what I'm doing with it. There's so much I could change and so much I need to change, which your post has hightlighted on. One thing which really annoys me is the pictures. I can't seem to put text around them, or justify them in any way. I'm wondering if I need a new version of WP (it tells me at the top of the admin panel there's a new version but I'm scared of losing everything if I download it). Then I need a contact me and I need to let my readers amend their comments. Hmmm - I've got my work cut out.... Next week, once the Mother-in-Law has gone home and the kids are back at school... Argh, so much to do, so little time. But nice article, thanks!
