Upgraded!
Wordpress recently came out with a new version (2.0.4). Since I had been using 2.0.3 and this was a security release, I needed to upgrade. I used to work in a servicing team, where we made patches for Visual Studio and the .NET Framework, so I was curious to see how hard the Wordpress upgrade would be.
Since I moved to hosting my own blog, I no longer have people doing all the upgrades seamlessly for me. The old spaces blog got a new look and I didn’t have to do a thing. I don’t like the new look and feel, but that’s a topic for another day. (Speaking of which, I still need to finish tweaking this website.)
Anyway, the wordpress upgrade was a piece of cake: (1) backup your files and database, (2) do a flat file copy over the existing files, (3) open the upgrade page (starts the upgrade script). All nice and easy - no worries about side by side shared files, clobbering, admin deployment, or any of those horrible things Jason and I used to worry about.
