I hesitated upgrading to WP 2.5 for a few weeks and when we started making Listings by Address Blogs we were using WordPress 2.5 as a new install as opposed to upgrading from an already used blog.
I really liked the dashboard and the way you can upgrade your plugins within the plug-in directory as opposed to using ftp to upload your files. Uploading different types of media is now a breeze and when Monika mentioned how much she liked WP 2.5 I knew I had to bite the bullet and upgrade.
I first tried to upgrade my Real Estate Golfer blog over the weekend. I first backed up my blog by using this plug-in at
IF... click the If graphic to get the plug-in.
Once I backed up the Real Estate Golfer I was ready to use the Instant WP Upgrade Plug-in which is another great plugin that does work... if all is right. LOL This Plug-in can be found at the following weblog. This is worth the effort to have as I have used it a few times to upgrade from earlier versions. Click on the graphic below from Zirona Open Source Consulting to get this great plug-in.
Well , I tried to upgrade the Real Estate Golfer but I ran into a glitch that didn't allow me to upgrade. I will have to figure that out later. 
So, today I decided to back up the New Hampshire Real Estate Blog and try and see if I could upgrade it better than I did the Golfer blog.
With the press of a couple of buttons it went so smoothly I couldn't believe it. Now we will see if we have any glitches using it as it is almost to good to be true. If you need help please lmk and I will try and help.
