@narendra.s.v, hehehe, I’ll be sure to hire myself a good lawyer

@jjmomscashblog, from I’ve been reading all over the blogosphere, I think I’ll be wating for WordPress 2.7 till I update. No, I don’t use entrecard.

@Siddharth, glad it helped you out!

@David Hobson, and I really don’t know how they are useful, I mean, when a new version is released, you’re bound to know!

@Sabeur, no, I’m haven’t updated and don’t think I will till the next version comes out

@TripleM, it seems as though many people agree with you.

@Jim, I don’t really think it’s really annoying, just a little

@Slevi, that’s a pretty neat trick

@kidfingers, thank you for the kind words and wishes I’ll be sure to drop by your site every know and then

@kidfingers, I wouldn’t say it’s failing, but I do admit that it’s like it was once before.

@Melvin, good thinking

@Lucas, no problem!

@Ryan McLean, well, according to what I’ve read, updating will do the exact opposite of that

Great tip, but I would prefer to update my wordpress. I prefer to have the latest and greatest version for my financial blog. That way it doesn’t crash or stop working etc

It gives me a good laugh once in a while. Its nice to see how WP is failing its self to millions of users.

Hey Mr. Rajaie, thanks a lot for your comment! Just read your About page and I think it’s great what you’re doing here at your age; I wish I started this blogging stuff when I was younger (not that I’m much older than you ). I look forward to seeing you back on my site, I’ll definitely be stopping here quite often. Good luck to you, too! Take it easy.

I tend to update quickly so the message goes away rapidly as well then . Personally I think it’s an important reminder that you’re behind, taking it away might make you forget of it.

You can reduce the message though but still have it pop up at times by playing around with random number generators a bit, like:

if (rand(1,10) == 7) echo “$msg”; // Lucky number 7!!

Out of every 10 page loads on random you’ll get to see it once statistically speaking then, so the reminder stays there at times .
