WordPress is a popular blogging software which is used in this blog and lot of blogs on the internet. One of the frequently asked questions was how can we get older versions of WordPress. Previously all we could get was the latest version using this link, which automatically links to the latest version of the software. Now we have a way, thanks to Matt Mullenweg, to get earlier versions of the software.

I finally took the plunge and upgraded this blog to WordPress 2.0.7, the latest sparkling version of WordPress (till 2.1 comes out later this month). I am happy to say that the upgrade was uneventful for once and things looked fine after sanity checks. My biggest motivation was to install Translator Plugin 4.0, I didn't want to miss out any longer being on the SEO love-train that comes with automatic blog translation into 13 major languages.

Yesterday I talked about developing a comment spam prevention plugin with zero false positives. I am currently using it on all of our blogs. Today I want to talk briefly about its origin and goals.
