As a sort of birthday present for myself, I’ve spent the last few days climbing the steep-at-times learning slope of upgrading my WordPress installation.  The difference is barely noticable as you browse through this site, but it will make it much easier for me to roll out a number of exciting new features in the coming weeks.

I found this advice on WordPress backups and this quick guide to upgrading WordPress particularly useful and easy to follow.  Luckily, the upgrade process went smoothly and I didn’t need to use my backup.
