All in all, the upgrade to WordPress 2.5 went off without a hitch.

WordPress has released the latest version of their platform.  WordPress 2.5 is ready and easy to use. 

BigDadGib.net will be going through the process of upgrading today.

First step is to backup the data base.

The following is from WordPress…

Your WordPress database contains every post, every comment and every link you have on your blog. If your database gets erased or corrupted, you stand to lose everything you have written. There are many reasons why this could happen and not all are things you can control. But what you can do is backup your data. After all, it is important. Right?

Step-by-step backup instructions are available below, and support will be provided online in the WordPress Support Forum to help you through the process.

Making backups is essential because problems inevitably occur and you need to be in a position to take action when disaster strikes. Spending a few minutes to make an easy, convenient backup of your database will allow you to spend even more time being creative and productive with your website.
