Blog and Gallery software updated to latest versions.
Wordpress released version 2.2.1 yesterday which included some security updates. I have successfully updated my blog to this version as well as updating my plug-ins to their most recent versions.
A new version of Gallery2 was also released a couple days ago. It is now version 2.2.2. My Gallery has been successfully updated as well! 
Must keep them up-to-date to fend off all the bots/spammers/hackers and what not as best as possible!
