In my mind I'd built the manual upgrade up into a gargantuan task but in reality it was quite straight forward. My fear is always that the back-up files are so small whilst the blog content and images are so big. I'm never sure I've backed things up completely....so far I've never had to check! My 'fail safe' method is; in the FTP simply rename my existing blog 'blogBACKUP' and do a fresh install of wordpress named 'blog' and then move the relevant files across. That way it very easy to revert back if anything goes wrong. I'm not sure it's a recommended method but it makes me feel safe! Cheers, Pete Thanks so much for this clear and simple upgrade procedure.
