Updated to Wordpress 2.5!
This has nothing to do with travel but I don’t care. I updated to Wordpress 2.5 and I am flipping out with excitement! I can’t begin to tell you how nervous I was. I’d never updated Wordpress before (yes, I’ve been using an old version all this time) and I’d heard all the horror stories about Upgrades Gone Bad. I was sweating bullets, believe me. I managed to update all three of my Wordpress blogs, quite easily.
Many thanks to Keith Dsouza and his Wordpress Automatic Upgrade plugin. The maker of this plugin made everything so easy, he should be awarded a Wordpress trophy or something. I hope to donate something to the guy when I can– he did a great job with this plugin and I am thankful.
If you use the plugin, I recommend that you manually disable all your plugins before upgrading Wordpress. This advice was recommended to me, and everything went great!

Way to go! I tried to do it myself during the last WP upgrade and wound up having to get Techguy to come to my rescue! I haven’t been brave enough to attempt to upgrade to 2.5.
It’s always nice to have a tecchy friend handy.
One of the most important tools in the toolbox, wouldn’t you say? I wanted to try it myself, although at one point I was entertaining paying someone $50 to do it for me, I was so scared! But I came to my senses and took the plunge. That plugin made it so easy I cried with relief.
2.5 is different. I’m still getting used to it. Is it better? Um… dunno. I liked the “feel” of the old version (2.3) but 2.5 has some nice features.
So, do you think I should download that plugin first?
