Over the weekend, I finally upgraded two implementations of WordPress, which were long overdue.

I seem to remember the last time I updated the software, it took quite an effort, which is probably why I left it for so long this time. However, I read the Three Step Upgrade notes, and, after a couple of hairy moments on each installation where I got a blank screen because I’d forgotten to copy over a particular file, or a plugin wasn’t working, it was fine.

Each site took no more than half-an-hour to complete, which I was most impressed with.

Admittedly, I don’t use many plugins, and I rarely hack the source WordPress code, so there wasn’t really much to go wrong.

I’ll be upgrading another couple of sites this week, and then I expect I’m a lot closer to being ready to upgrade to version 2.5 when it’s available next month.
