    Upgrading seemed to go pretty easily for me, going to do a more thorough write up for it on Sunday.

    Seems like some pretty good changes have been made but as always I’ll hold off on updating for a little while. You never know…

      Actually, it is indeed better to hold off upgrading on critical systems, therefor, on my other blog, I haven’t yet upgraded to WP3.0

    I’ve helped a few friends upgrade their 2.x blogs to WordPress 3.0. Not a single problem so far, knock on wood…

    I did a clean install for myself on my test server and it performs really nicely. No extensions or plugins or anything. I’m currently designing my own theme 100% from scratch in Notepad++ so that’s a lot of fun. =)

      Yeah, I’m pretty pleased with 3.0 too. Good luck on your new theme, looking forward to seeing it!

    It is a great release for those willing to look whats in code :-) I have to say that most people who simply want blogging platform to share ideas – will not see that big of a difference.

    I was setting my new blog on my old hosting provider. Bad luck for me, they still use the 2.7 versions of WordPress.
