I spent some of the weekend updating this web site from WordPress 2.0.5 to 2.1. I also updated two other web sites in the same manner. When I first did this site, I was afraid I had hosed the site, since when I ran the upgrade script, it failed. Then I completely erased all the 2.0.5 files and directories, then copied the new ones into place, and the upgrade went fine.
The most tedious part of the whole process was backing up the databases and the other files. I’m very glad I did that, as I accidently removed some pages I should not have, and I had to copy them onto the web site from the backup.
I have finished printing 30 Dutch oven booklets. That’s 1/4 of the total I have to print. I will continue to do 5 per day until the task is complete.
