Good sound advice. Generally, I keep my plugins and WordPress install up to date. It’s not really that hard of a process to update a WordPress installation. Hopefully, 2.6 brings us automatic core upgrade functionality

Thank you Angelo,

I new that but I just got confused between the two methods your were mentioning. Do you believe that export/import through the wordpress admin has any advantage than doing from the mysqldump method?
thx again…

Gustavo, WordPress, for instance, has a built in export/import function, which you can use to export posts and comments from one blog and import to another (or to the same blog, with a fresh install). That’s an XML dump.

When you say Export, you mean a MySQLdump export?
importing means a mysql import?

It’s amazing to me that people don’t keep their blogging software up to date, I know that it is a little stressful to do an upgrade but man is it worth it.
