Why WordPress updates are a GOOD thing!
Every now and then we need to have a bit of a rant right? I know that it’s been proven to be healthy to release any negative energy in any format. Why WordPress updates are a GOOD thing!
You could write a song, scream at the top of your lungs, or blog about it…so I’m choosing the later! So it’s rant time in regards to WordPress updates and why they are a good thing! Because other CMS seem to think frequent updates are a bad thing…plus this rant will make me a healthier person cause I’ll release the negative energy and hopefully get my point across!
We all love paying for insurance, don’t we?
Oh no, wait, we hate paying insurance because it’s based on paranoia!
What if someone crashes into my car?
What if someone decides that my house is the house to rob?
What if I die trying to catch a bus?
What if my house gets flooded?
I’ll change those locks for free!
Imagine a world where your insurance companies found out about a flaw in your deadlocks on your house and they popped over to upgrade your locks to negate the ability for a thief to break in. That’d be awesome right?
Why WordPress updates are a GOOD thing!
After all, you are paying the insurance company to insure you so it’s the least they could do! Oh no wait, the least they could do is direct debit the same amount as last month from your account and do nothing. That’s some awesome service right there! We’ll take everyones money then if something happens then we’ll deal with that after the event.
You get FREE WordPress insurance!
So how does this little rant tie in with insurance companies and WordPress?
Well you know that lovely little yellow update bar?
WordPress Update notice
This little yellow bar is the same as your insurance company coming to your house to update your locks so you’re secure!
Frequent updates are a good thing! Any time a security flaw is found the WordPress team will update the flaws within hours. There are loads of other Content Management Systems (CMS) out there who are proud about their lack of updates because they think they are secure. I actually tested out a couple of security holes that were found in WordPress on another popular CMS last night and surprise, surprise I logged into their systems using the holes that have been sealed by the awesome WordPress community…and I’m not even a hacker!
WordPress updates are a freaking awesome thing!
WordPress updates keep your website safe. You can sleep at night without any paranoia thanks to WordPress and the community behind it. There are many reasons why WordPress powers over 13% of the entire internet but the updates are one of the most important reasons!
So don’t get annoyed or rant about a new WordPress update on your website!
