Upgrade to WordPress 2.0 Completed

Sure it’s a little late, but I got the upgrade to WordPress 2.0 done without any problems. I just downloaded a complete site backup in cPanel, as well as a database backup just in case a problem wasn’t really bad. I spent about 10 minutes uploading the WP 2.0 files, went to the upgrade.php file, and Bam! I was done. That was really easy, and I enjoy (most of) the new WP 2.0 features (including the Split Post with More tag in the writing page, but not the layered post options on the right of the same area). Overall satisfaction (ease of upgrade, usefulness of new features): 4 of 5 stars.

Upgrade to WordPress

I looked at my WordPress dashboard yesterday, and noticed that there was a feed item mentioning that WordPress 2.0 has been released. Almost immediately I went to the WordPress site, and looked for upgrade instructions. I found four steps that seemed very complicated, but after a few moments it only looked a little difficult. Is it really worth going to the difficulty of downloading a backup (which convieniently can be made with cPanel) and uploading the update and attempting to install it?
