If you run a WordPress blog than you should read Matt Cutts (of Google fame) excellent tips on protecting your WordPress install.

The order in which pages are listed is defined by the Page Order setting in the Administration > Write > Write Page panel.

<ul>
<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order'); ?>
</ul>

If you add this argument to the sidebar.php file, it would display your pages in correct Order.

WordPress has released a security alert that If you downloaded WordPress 2.1.1 within the past 3-4 days, your files may include a security exploit that was added by a cracker, and you should upgrade all of your files to 2.1.2 immediately.

Finally got around to upgrading this blog to WordPress 2.1 Ella. It was a pain free upgrade.

Ella has a couple of really cool features like Autosaving a post, a better Upload manager and a new version of the Akismet plugin. You can also set any “page” to be the front page of your site, and put the latest posts somewhere else, making it much easier to use WordPress as a content management system.
