Upgrade your WP's automatically with http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/
I have updated my blog to 2.6.5 with the automatic upgrade plugin without any hassle. Great plugin and great wordpress.
Think il upgrade now, might give that plugin a try too. Although http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-automatic-upgrade/ Compatible up to: 2.6.1 makes me wonder Shouldn't the upgrade plugin be as up to date as the 2nd most recent wordpress upgrade at least?
I you're at version 2.6.1 and the current release is 2.6.5 then you're behind and only upgrading those files will not give you all of the fixed between 2.6.1-2.6.5. Could even mess up your WordPress. You might as well just upgrade all files.
Remember guys, before making any upgrade of your blogs ALWAYS do a backup of the database, if you run any auto-upgrade plugin a database backup its really important, because bad things happens. I would recommend to you this plugin:http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/ Or just go to your hosting cPanel and use the Backup wizzard to make a full backup of your site.
