I finally got around to upgrading this blog to Wordpress 2.3.1. It was extremely painless; I had it done in a matter of minutes. Here were my steps:
- Backup database (mysqldump).
- Backup entire heirarchy of benjamingolub.com
- Overwrite the old wordpress folder with the new one (they recommend not doing this, but I see no problem assuming you backup your old hierarchy)
- Visit /wordpress/wp-admin/upgrade.php
- Convert all my categories to tags (found a link in the admin panel to do this)
- Replace my categories list in my sidebar with a tag cloud
- Get the newest version of my theme (sandbox) which supports tags
- Write this post
Nice job Wordpress! I’m digging the plugin update notification feature and the built in tagging.
