Wordpress upgrade
I’m impressed how easy Wordpress has made it to upgrade versions of their blogging software. I was using version 2.1 previously and just updated to 2.5.1 (which has a much cleaner UI and more AJAX functionality). The upgrade took less than 5 minutes including downloading the new files and uploading them to my hosting provider.
The upgrade instructions included four simple steps noted below:
1. Delete your old WP files, saving ones you’ve modified.
2. Upload the new files.
3. Point your browser to /wp-admin/upgrade.php.
4. You wanted more, perhaps? That’s it!
I did have to copy over the wp-config.php (which includes the DB configuration information), but that was relatively painless.
Kudos to Wordpress on their new update.
