 * Just upgraded my blog to 2.6 this morning and have been poking around looking
   for the changes. One thing I’ve noticed is a little quote balloon thing over 
   my Plugins link with the number 2 in it. I originally thought it meant I had 
   2 plugins that needed to be updated, but I have since removed those two plugins(
   didn’t use/want them any more), but this 2 remains.
 * [see what I’m talking about here](http://www.thelifeofbrian.info/images/Clip.jpg)
 * Any ideas what this means?

 * wow, thanks for the overwhelming response! Seriously!! I really appreciate all
   the help.
 * Well I have no idea what happened, b/c I didn’t change anything on my blog; but
   today the number showed 1 instead of the 2 previously, and it turned out there
   actually was a plugin with an update. And the automatic update actually worked
   for the first time since I’ve been using WP (all of a month now?). Sweet! And
   the 1 went away after the update.
 * OK, whatever! 🙂

 * WordPress only checks the updates max of once every 12 hours, or after you do
   an automated update of a plugin. So when you remove a plugin that needs an update,
   the number won’t get fixed for at least 12 hours, when it notices that you don’t
   have that plugin anymore and so can’t update it.
