After almost a year using WordPress 1.5.2, I finally decided to upgrade it to the latest WordPress 2.0.4 last night.
The upgrade *sounded* easy by just merely reading the html file. But the reality is, I’ve to restore my WP 1.5.2 back again and again because WordPress 2.0.4 just display a blank page after I attempted to upgrade my blog.
Finally I trace back the problem to either my themes or my plugins that caused the problem, so I deleted them too in addition to my old WordPress 1.5.2 files, so that explains why you see yet another new theme for my blog today.
Lucky I use WP-Cron plugin that can help you automatically back up your wordpress database everyday, I suggest you use one to in case if your webhosting company fscked up and leave you without your database.
All in all, I’m glad that I took me less than an hour to upgrade this blog, despite few mishaps happened during the upgrading process :)

lol, the switch off plugin thingy wasn’t stated in the Readme file. No wonder I’m having trouble upgrading the WordPress from 1.5.2 to 2.0.4
That’s strange. I just upgraded a few days back without any problems. BTW, we were supposed to switch off all the plugins before the upgrade process ;)
