Upgrading wordpress
Wordpress 2.0.4 was released 11 days ago, and I noticed it first time today! Naturally I plunged myself into the work of upgrading! Here’s the steps I took. Primarily I write it down here for my own future reference 
cd public_html
wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
cp -a wordpress wordpress.backup
mysqldump -u root wordpress > wordpress.backup/wordpress.db
# Verified that the wordpress.db file looked ok!
# Went to my blogs admin page and turned all the plugins off.
# I currently use the following:
Akismet
Browser Sniff
Gravatar
LiveCalendar
More Smilies
SimpleTags
Sidebar Widgets
Executable PHP widget
Fuzzy Recent Updates
Simple Recent Comments Widget
# Packed up the latest release
tar zxvf latest.tar.gz
# Then I reactivated all the plugins. No problems there. The
# only thing I had to adjust was that More Smilies defaulted
# back to the Default instead of my smilies

Ahhh, tutorial sweetness! I think I will update WP myself when I get home. Now I don’t have to think, only “do as Mika did”
