Finally, I have decided to upgrade this website to WordPress 2.6 two days ago after giving it much thought. I had a pretty bad experience of backing up my files and accidentally deleting my images when I upgraded from WP 2.1 to 2.5 before. From then on, every upgrade notice sent chills down my spine so I just simply ignored them.
But thank God for someone who invented WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin. It made my life easier after that very short and smooth transition. I was waiting for my screen to go blink-blink but it did not. My files were safe. It was definitely sweat-free compared to the agony of doing manual upgrades. No FTP clients needed.
Here’s how the process takes place:
Backs up the files and makes available a link to download it.
Backs up the database and makes available a link to download it.
Downloads the latest files from http://wordpress.org/latest.zip and unzips it.
Puts the site in maintenance mode.
De-activates all active plugins and remembers it.
Upgrades wordpress files.
Gives you a link that will open in a new window to upgrade installation.
Re-activates the plugins.
If you haven’t updated yours, go get the plugin now.
No one really understands what “age” exactly means until you see those lines becoming more visible and bulges developing in geographically wrong areas. If you can’t afford Belo’s knife, you might just consider sleeping properly to reduce those lines, drink lots of water, tuck those bulges under loose clothing or pop in diet pills for speedier results. Another sign that “age” has finally conquered your daytime consciousness is when you start joining everyone in an SMS frenzy over a facial wash trial pack.
Neth has just won a free trial pack from Ponds. We redeemed that neat little package from Watson’s last night. Let’s see if she would look a year younger after seven days.
