I must admit I was lagging with my upgrades & was very wary about doing it. Thankfully all went well. Haven't taken the jump to 2.5 as yet. I'd also heard about deactivating your plugins before upgrading even with the WPAU. I have noticed that a link has appeared informing me there is an upgrade. <em>Gaida's last blog post..<a href='http://lifestylediscoveries.com/blog/misc/understanding-motivation/' rel="nofollow">Understanding Motivation</a></em> Hi David,
