Upgrade WordPress Yourself? Yes, You Can!

Upgrading the version of WordPress you were using used to be a rather arduous task, requiring knowledge of FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and server access, which quite frankly, was just a bit much for a lot of folks. End result? Upgrading WordPress to the latest version was relegated to the ‘someday I’ll get to that’ list.

With the recent release of WordPress 2.7, upgrading WordPress has become a two-click process anyone can do – even you! No geekiness required.
