    one of my blog have been updated to it, before upgrading check all plug-ins first, especially if you are using sitemap plug-in, this can cause issues during posting and others, tagging is in and links are not coming to technorati but now on google blogsearch and other improvements also.

    It's always worth updating, if only for the bug fixes. The upgrade is simple, and this is my personal technique:

    • Unzip the wordpress.zip on to your PC
    • delete the wp-config-sample.php
    • delete the wp-content/plugins and wp-content/themes directories

    On your server:

    • Backup the whole site, including the database (a must anyway)
    • Delete the wp-admin and wp-includes directories (do not delete your wp-content folder, this contains themes, plugins and images)
    • Delete all files in the root directory except any sitemaps, .htaccess files, wp-config.php (very important to keep this, saves hassle creating it again)
    • Upload the contents of the wordpress directory on your system to the target server
    • Visit your site www.yoursite.com/wp-admin and follow the instructions to upgrade the database.

    Hi there

    the update process can be found in details at http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended

    It takes a few minutes only.

    As for improvements, well the most noticeable thing is tags obviously, but there are plenty of overhauls in there as well.

    Cheers,
    S

    I'm using 2.3 I noticed that they changed how the categories work now, Instead of listing all the articles as a whole, where you scroll threw them. It lists each article in bulletin list. .. Or maby its just the template I'm using.
