Due to boredom at work, I took the risk of upgrading to the latest (major) release of Wordpress without taking backup measures. Ill-advised, and I should know better, but everything seems to be ok. All the plugins seem intact, but if you see something not behaving properly, let me know in the comments.

I’m in the midst of doing some updates to the Wordpress installation at the moment. Don’t worry, it’s just the usual early-life stuff for any site installation: I’m hunting for a nice theme (will probably end up either making my own or heavily modifying an “open-source” one from the net), installing some more anti-spam stuff, and laying the groundwork for future growth (because all new blogs grow up to become huge hubs of community activity, right… )

Edit: I’ve just upgraded to 2.6.1 using the SVN method. That was an experience. Definitely easier than the manual zip and download, and also the procedure was easier than I anticipated. Of course, prior to upgrade, WordPress was telling me that I needed to go to 2.6. Once I did that, it told me I needed to go to 2.6.1. I know that I could have gone straight to 2.6.1 if I had been told about it :rolleyes:
