Notes+on+Wordpress+2.5+upgrade


 * maintenance mode plugin does NOT work on my older version of WP
 * backup ALL wordpress directory and database
 * download WP2.5
 * upload files, taking care not to overwrite config.php and wp-content directories
 * ultimate tag warrior needs to be transformed into simpletags plugin http://www.lancelhoff.com/2008/02/07/ultimate-tag-warrior-replacement-for-wordpress-23/
 * good chance current theme will not work, cf. http://chaotictech.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/k2-wordpress-25-broken-i-can-fix-that/

Also note - local instance of WP displaying posts in reverse order, this apprarently due to a MySQL problem - http://wordpress.org/support/topic/154622
