Upgrading a Blog is a Pain

I’ve been going through all my blogs and upgrading them to the latest version of Wordpress. I must admit that I think that upgrading blogs is a pain. Sure, the process of upgrading is really easy, if I didn’t have to worry about compatibility problems with plugins and themes. I was lucky enough to find a nice Wordpress Plugin called InstantUpgrade that does all the hard work for you. However, it wouldn’t work on my blogs that were still really old. I think it only works from 2.0 and up. Yes, I was that lax in upgrading my blogs. Upgrading is a problem when you have so many of them.

I do hate having to manually change the permissions for InstantUpgrade. If my host gave me command line access it would be a breeze. However, I don’t have that and so the manual file permission changes are a bit of a pain. At least now it’s done and I shouldn’t have to do it again.

Well, I do love the new Wordpress features. The auto save is pretty sweet and always makes me happy. I love the adding comments on the fly. I think there’s a few more, but I can’t remember what they are. Anyway, I think I’m at the end of the updates. Now, if I can just stay on top of updating Wordpress.
