Upgrade Time

Upgraded to WordPress 2.5 over the weekend, and its a dream.

  • An intuitive and clean user interface,
  • better organisation of menus,
  • a dashboard that looks inviting
  • One click upgrade for plugins
  • Once click adding of media, including video

In addition to upgrading, i cleaned up my plugins – deleted all the stuff I don’t use, added some new ones… here are some that I use:

To all the people who wrote these plugins /widgets … thank you !

  1. Backup your db using myPHPadmin from your cPanel because I’ve heard stories of backup failing using the plugin although it seems to do everything fine. One guy lost two years worth of content.

    Also, adding Technorati tags doesn’t help much. They crawl your content nevertheless. Use the inbuilt WordPress tags instead.

  2. Hi Harini,
    Is your site hosted by wordpress itself or hosted by a third party? I ask because my host keeps telling me that my upgrades will be automatic but they haven’t happened yet. Did you replace all your wordpress files manually, or is there a trick one can use to escape the drudgery?
    I tried a while ago to update my system files but the whole thing crashed and had to be revived from MySQL.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
