The real problem is the draw to 2.0.1 is because of security threats, you really need to keep ontop of the releases to avoid getting hacked. HOWEVER, I’m not that sure 2.0.1 was the best move! I’ve noticed a few issue lately and a lot of people with problems since the upgrade – so expect a 2.0.2 real soon!

John, consider a WordPress page, maybe as a subcat to Geek Alert?

Wordpress 2.0 is good, but make sure you look at 2.0.1 if you haven’t already – at lot of .1 bug fixes in their.
