Last night, Google started pushing out new PageRank data to the Google Toolbar users (if you can find any one using the toolbar anymore).
There is discussions about the PageRank update happening at DigitalPoint Forums and WebmasterWorld. In fact, DigitalPoint has a dozen threads on the topic.
The previous PageRank update was done in August 2012 and typically occurs ever few months or so.
Despite PageRank still being part of the algorithm, SEOs know that toolbar PageRank is often outdated and not that useful. In addition, there are many other factors part of the algorithm that may or may not be as important as PageRank.
Hobo has a list of some major sites that were updated with this PR update.
I hope your PageRank increased and did not decline at all - ego is an important thing.
Forum discussion at DigitalPoint Forums and WebmasterWorld.

Give Yourself A Shinny

my page rank changed from being a really useful metric a few years ago to being a spam generator for the web. It is now a green mark that has no meaning or usefulness. Could google be trying to re-engage with web masters using the shinny bits. The story could go like this: Webmasters love google. Lets give them a piece of shinny and call it Pagerank. Oooh poo .. the spammers are making more use of it than we are. Lets remove the usefulfulness Oh no, the webmasters hate us. They don't like our choice of pets or the company we now keep. Lets give them back their shinny. And so the story goes. Google once again becomes the babe of webmasters. The webmasters rejoice at the return of the shinny bits.

I think your right. Our site used to just be pagerank 2 (for the hompage) and PR3 for the blog. No other pages had pagerank. However today, every single page on the entire website is PR2 and the blog is still PR3.

Yay! PR jumped from 2 to 3. But still no PR for blog's internal pages. By this count it would take me another 1 year (or 4 PR updates) to get to 7? boo! hiss! monkeyshine nutworks LOL.

I am not convinced, at all, that PageRank is not important. PR is a measurement of the importance of a page based on the quality of links to it - if you're saying PR is not important, you're saying links are not important.

Nice blog. Page rank is used by Google to determine the relevance of a website, in terms of link popularity and quality content
