Go ahead and update your Wordpress blog. You can’t take a risk by not updating it.
From the Wordpress website:
We’ve got a new bugfix and security release for both of our actively maintained branches of WordPress. Version 2.1.1 includes about 30 bug fixes, mostly minor things around encoding, XML-RPC, the object cache, and HTML code. It’s available for immediate download on our download page.
Version 2.0.9 only includes the security update, which was around the code we use to prevent XSS. You can download it from our release archive. As a reminder, we’ve committed to proving security updates to 2.0 through 2010, but all new features and development are going into the newer branch, which is at this time 2.1.
This is a low-to-medium priority update recommended for all WordPress users. After the break is a list of changed files.
Files changed in 2.1.1 from 2.1:
* wp-includes/post-template.php
* wp-includes/cache.php
* wp-includes/formatting.php
* wp-includes/category.php
* wp-includes/post.php
* wp-includes/version.php

Another new theme by Amsterdamn: Stalingrad

Download
Test run
Please leave your trackbacks and comments here!
Update:
I have changed the background of the theme. Although I liked the previous one, I believe that this one is much better.
Update 2:
I have been playing around with the code and have been able to reduce it.This means that the theme will be faster to load on your website. Besides that I have also optimized the theme for search engines. This way your website will be better indexed and have a higher ranking. But I also took a look at the design of the theme.
I have edited and adjusted some parts of the design. This way the theme will look even better on your weblog. You can download the updated version of the theme above.
Please note that the screenshot on themes.wordpress.net isn’t the correct one. The one that you see here above is the correct one. We will keep on updating our themes, so be sure to check out this website once in a while.

One of our goals for Amsterdamn in 2007 was entering the Technorati top 1000. When I wrote that post (6 January) we were somewhere between 1600-1700. But after a month of hard work we finally entered the top 1000. Our new goal is to become one of the 500 most linked to blogs on Technorati. From what I can see that won’t be a problem because we’ve got enough know how to achieve that goal.
Although the Technorati is just an indicator we are happy to see that we have continued to grow in 2007.

Gray Wolf is a simple yet powerful theme for Wordpress.
It supports gravatar, wp page navi and widgets. And it’s valid xhtml 1.0 strict
Screenshot:
Demo
Download
You can leave your feedback here.
Update 1:
I changed the way the look of the title. And I also added a description to the top of the theme. Besides that I have centered the menu. Also fixed some minor issues with the colours of the theme.
Update 2:
I had to remove widgets support for the theme because it didn’t work well together with page nav. I will be dropping page nav support in the next release of the theme. But it will have widgets support in return.
Update 3:
Instead of page nav it now has the standard browsing features of Wordpress. Just use the download link above to download the widget friendly version.
Please leave a comment if you have any problems with the Gray Wolf theme. I’m looking forward to fix it. This way we can improve the user experience for you and your visitors.

Pinky is my first theme release this year. Actually I made this theme last year, but I didn’t have the time to release it. As you can see it’s , again, a pink theme. Basically it’s a 1 column theme with an options page. Besides that it’s widgets ready. And the width is fixed. If you’d like to see the theme in action then you can find a live preview here
You can download the theme here.

Recently a bug in certain versions of PHP came to our attention that could cause a security vulnerability in your blog. We’re able to work around it fairly easily, so we’ve decided to release 2.0.7 to fix the PHP security problem and the Feedburner issue that was in 2.0.6. It is recommended that everyone running WordPress 2.0.6 or lower
upgrade to this new version.Because this is a much smaller update than previous versions, you do not have to update all of WordPress’ files if you’re upgrading from version 2.0.6. Here is the list of files that have changed since 2.0.6:
- wp-admin/inline-uploading.php
- wp-admin/post.php
- wp-includes/classes.php
- wp-includes/functions.php
- wp-settings.php
- wp-includes/version.php
We know it sucks to have a release only 10 days after our last one, but we think it’s important enough for your blog to be secure to do it, and hopefully only having to change a few files will make the upgrade easier than normal.
Here are the changes that have been made since 2.0.6:
- Security fix for
dreZ8nus_unregister_GLOBALS() to work around the zend_hash_del_key_or_index bug in PHP 4 versions less than 4.4.3 and PHP 5 versions less than 5.1.4 with register_globals set to “On.â€
- Feeds now properly serve
304 Not Modified headers instead of mismatched 200/304 headers (a.k.a. the FeedBurner bug).
- Backport of another
304 Not Modified fix from WordPress 2.1
- Deleting WordPress Pages no longer gives an “Are You Sure?†prompt.
- After deleting a WordPress Page, you are now properly redirected to the Edit Pages screen.
- Sending an image at original size in Internet Explorer no longer adds an incorrect “height†attribute.
And just as a reminder, the next major version of WordPress (2.1) is due out by the end of the month, but the 2.0 branch of WordPress will continue to be maintained for several years.

I hope everyone had a great holiday, I know I did.
2007 is an exciting year for me from a business and personal life perspective.
But I’ll stick to the business side of the story on this blog. Amsterdamn had an incredible growth last year.
And I’m planning to work even harder to release free themes for the masses.
Amsterdamn in 2007 will be this:
- Search Engine optimization
I have been reading a lot about SEO optimization lately. And I am going to implement the knowledge that I have gathered in my new themes.
Every theme from now on will be equipped with Search Engine Optimization. Hopefully your weblog will get more exposure thanks to this.
- Options page
Some of you already noticed that I started to use the Wordpress Admin more and more. Every new theme in 2007 will get it’s own options page in the WP admin.
This way the users are able to edit basic things without having to edit the code. I have noticed that there a lot of novice users who use Wordpress.
With this small effort I am able to make our themes (even more) user friendly.
- Neutral themes
At least 5 of our new themes this year will be “neutral”.It will be easy to edit them and give them your own personal touch to it.
With the options page it will be also possible to choose what you want to use. In other words more whitespace!
- At least 15 new themes
Last year we managed to release 15 themes. This year I am planning to release at least the same amount.
- Wordpress
I will continue to release themes for Wordpress. There is a chance that I will port our themes to other blog platforms.
If you are eager to do the job: e-mail me!
- Widgets Support
I haven’t paid much attention to widgets. Basically because I never use them.
But there seems to be a demand for them. Therefore every new theme will compatible with widgets.
- Amsterdamn
And some goals for my own website:
- By then end of 2007 Amsterdamn.org will be at least a PR6 (and maybe a PR7)
- I will enter the Technorati Top 1000 (now 16xx)
- Amsterdamn themes will have 35K downloads at the Wordpress theme repository
- Our Alexa Rank will be lower than 150K
I’m looking forward to what 2007 will bring on the interwebs!
And here’s a new theme that I made last year:

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a lion wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.
When the sun comes up, you better start running.
