Quick link: How to upgrade to WordPress 3.0

I’ve been wondering what to say about the latest version of WordPress. I upgraded this site, and a couple others, with no problems. I was surprised at how minimal the changes appear to be, with the exception of the new Menu options. Plus, there’s now the ability to run multiple WordPress blogs off of one installation, but you have to go into a file on the server and make some changes in order to activate that capability.

So my experience with the upgrade has been good, and I haven’t spent any time exploring the new capabilities. Therefore I don’t have anything to say about WordPress 3.0 at this time.

But Web Designer Depot has done an in-depth post about how to upgrade, with good advice on doing a backup and deactivating your plugins. It’s called WordPress 3.0 Upgrade: What to Expect. Please read it before you upgrade your site.
