wordpress 1.5 upgrade day
IT’S WORDPRESS UPGRADE day. If you’re a WordPress user, or interested in becoming one, take some time today to install or upgrade to the 1.5 release.
Everybody’s doing it, and some of us will even be doing it together.

WordPress 1.5 Upgrade Day
Wordpress is now at Version 1.5. Congratulations.
Great – now I know what I’ll be doing at 1 AM. Gee… thanks!
I love WordPress and I have three weblogs to upgrade (six or seven if I finally figure out how to import them) and this is great news.
But you’re braver than me if you’re willing to upgrade on the day of release… I try to avoid being an early adopter. So tomorrow’s upgrade day for me…
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to update for several version snow because the hosting service I use is on PHP 4.0.26. So until they upgrade to 4.1, I have to sit back and wait.
I want to upgrade, yet I also fear it. I have seven blogs I’ll have to take down and reinstall. Something will go wrong.

John, take a look at this upgrade guide, it might squash some of your fears.
Sorry, typed ‘hrf’ instead of ‘href’, lets try this again.
Molly-
It was great to meet you at the party.
Woohoo Molly is now on WordPress!
Upgrading from 1.2.2 to 1.5 was a breeze! I made a copy of the directory I had 1.2.2 in, and then just removed all of the files there.
I copied over the new files, and then copied over the settings file (database and username settings file) from the backup dir and ran the upgrade script. No probs! Works great!
I even made a database backup before I did all of that with mysqldump but I didn’t have any problems.
