Don’t Be Afraid To Upgrade

Not that anything has changed and you’ll probably never notice, but I just upgraded to the latest version of WordPress. To be honest I was pretty nervous about the whole situation, since WP can be a little buggy at times and especially because I’m not talking about a minor upgrade here. I’m talking all the way from version 1.5.2 to the most current 2.2.1 (yikes).

Luckily, I found a very easy to use plugin that was just updated a few days ago with tons of bug fixes. The plugin is called WordPress Automatic Upgrade, and it does…well, just that. You can select from either a wizard style interface for upgrading or click one button and watch the automatic upgrade happen via a progress meter. Very useful for a lazy busy person like myself.

I had absolutely no problems getting the plugin to work with any of my sites, and the entire process was a lot smoother than I expected. I highly recommend it, and I liked it so much that I donated some cash to the developer’s beer fund.

In other news, the redesign of this site is finally in the works after lots of procrastinating on my part. I’m having a really hard time coming up with a theme for the site, but I expect to have it live within a few weeks.
