Upgraded to Wordpress 2.6.2

For a very long time, GotChance was running on Wordpress 2.3.3. Though I knew, upgrading was something easy, due to some unknown fear I did not do it. Today, I overcome the fear and successfully upgraded to the latest Wordpress 2.6.2 :)

I fretted over upgrading and put it off for a few months, than I tried the AU Plugin, and it was done in seconds! It was a huge weight off my mind!

@Felix, upgrading wordpress i really simple.. Just follow these instructions or use the automatic upgrade plugin

@firmanullah :
1) you first have to put your site down for maintenance
2) then, update your nameservers to point to the new host
3) move your files and database to the new host
4) after about 24 hours or after you are sure that the name servers are updated, deactivate the maintenance mode
