I tried to follow Aral's advice regarding upgrades: ie test it on a test site first, then upgrade the main site when OK. So I downloaded my site onto my Windows laptop, fired up IIS, pointed it at my site ... and discovered that WordPress doesn't work with ISS. Doh! Rather obvious, I know, but I just didn't think it through. I really couldn't be arsed to install and configure Apache as it is just too much like hard work. (Why can't Apache have a nice GUI configurator, or does it these days?). So I just crossed my fingers and overrode my live blog with v2.5. The database updated just fine, no plugins crashed and all seems OK. Next time I might not be so lucky though... I’ll second the fact that all looks as before.

I did my upgrade on Saturday and I had a bit of a knee trembler when I tried to log in and it said you need to upgrade to WP 2.5, then the message vanished and I got the OK message (Zeldman's twisted sense of humour) :-( I got it set up locally and remotely and it rocks! :-) Everything seems to be working Aral.
