a new version of WordPress (version 2.6.2) was released. Being new to this and have chosen to install this on the server where my web site is hosted, I attacked the update. Followed the instructions on the WordPress site (the easy process), updated (think it worked). All appears to be well. Gave myself a pat on the back. However, it took up all my blogging time for the day — so if you happen on this site, please be a bit patient with me and do check back to see how I am doing.
