The old adage (which I think I made up) about spending more time geeking around with a WordPress installation than actually writing in the damned blog holds true, ladies and gentlemen.
I just finished upgrading this fine blog to the newly-stable WordPress 3.0.
In case you were wondering and/or sitting on the edge of your seats, I took great care to:
- Disable all of my plugins
- Dump a copy of my WordPress MySQL database using the aptly-titled
mysqldump
tar
a copy of my WordPress directory- Do the upgrade!
- Re-enable the plugins one-by-one, making sure each works (or at least doesn’t break anything)
While I know not everyone is so lucky, I’m glad to see that everything appears to work here, because I’d be deathly embarrassed if, you know, Google or Bing’s webcrawler came by and things weren’t looking up to my usual standards.
