hey all, for those of you that don't know, there is a one click upgrade plugin for wordpress
takes about 10 minutes to install, requires some ftping in and chmod access, but WELL worth it
http://www.zirona.com/software/wordp...nstant-upgrade
you go in and chmod all the core files to 777, then click to upgrade, and when you do that it takes over the files and chmods them back to normal, so the files don't stay at 777, and upgrades to whatever the most stable wordpress version is...
I use it on all my blogs and have never had any issues
