I.D.E.A.

I just recently discovered I manually installed this blog a long time ago, instead of using my hosting service’s “one click install” feature to install Wordpress.  They also make it really easy to upgrade.  But I also found out that at some point I had converted my install to use SVN instead.  So, now all I have to do to upgrade my Wordpress software is to:

1. Go into the root directory of your blog
2. type ‘svn sw http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.7 .‘  (make sure you refer to one of the right version tags here)
3. Go to your browser and run http://yourblog.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php

That’s it!  Really simple right?!
