I was on a long trip in August, and when I returned I noticed that WP was now up to 2.6.1, the usual .0 release for the inevitable bug fixes.  So, I upgraded to 2.6.1, and all was well.

A few days later I then got a notice to upgrade to 2.6.2.  Seems there was a problem that was discovered, and a new release was made available.

To make a potentially long story short, I’ve just upgraded to 2.6.2, and all seems to be well.  Hopefully it stays that way for a while.

What I do want to say, though, is that WP is the easiest piece of software I’ve ever had the pleasure of upgrading.  It’s quick, and very seldom have I had a problem afterwards.  In general, WP works very well.

I also want to mention that before I performed this upgrade, I installed the Maintenance Mode Plugin, which displays a splash page to visitors so they know that I’m working on the site.  I looked for this since someone I know visited the site during my last theme upgrade (which took much longer - it’s a good theme, but the instructions are terrible!!).  So now if someone stops by while I’m doing some maintenance, they will know it. The creator only tested through WP 2.3, but it seems to be working on WP 2.6.2. All the setup is done via the administrator’s panel. Hopefully it continues to work.

Catch ya later!!
