WordPress 2.6.3 upgrade

By Halle | Published: November 5, 2008

I upgraded the blog today to WordPress 2.6.3 today and all went well. Woohoo. The best part is that I also installed the WordPress Automatic upgrade plugin so that future upgrades will be a cinch and white-knuckle free for this photographer.
