So, wordpress.org keeps coming out with update after update of WordPress, and I’ve largely ignored that last couple of updates. I upgraded (with not much difficulty) to WordPress 2.05, but just didn’t see the need to go to 2.06 or 2.07 as they didn’t seem to be worth upgrading to. 2.06 was a minor fix that I hadn’t had a problem with, and 2.07 was a bug fix to 2.06.

When I was notified 2.1 was now available, I decided to check out what this upgrade included: a new look to the admin screen, a spell checker for posts, the ability to have posts in “Draft” status, the ability to set any page as the home page, an auto-save feature for posts, and a faster MySQL connection.

Less than 3 weeks after beginning to convert PezXPress.com TheMindsChewToy.com to WordPress, I get a notice in my Dashboard about a WordPress upgrade: WordPress 2.0.5 - Ronan. Since this was my first time installing an upgrade (since I started with version 2.0.4), I backed up anything and everything in the site before downloading the file from wordpress.org: the database, all of the folders in my wordpress directory. Every Single Little Thing.
