WordPress 2.8 is worth upgrading to.  I created this video to show folks just how easy it is.

 How To Upgrade

You can review the backup process and upgrade process in detail at the WordPress site:

1. Backup your files
2. Backup your Database
3. Perform Upgrade

 New Features

Some features in WordPress 2.8 to look enjoy include:

• Delete plugins right from the Dashboard vs going in by FTP
• Add new themes right from the Dashboard vs going to WordPress.org/downloading/FTP
• Better, easier use of Taxonomy.  Create lists for things like locations, people, prices

Freshworkshops is my new endeavor to offer live hands-on training without asking people to drive through rush hour traffic or fly hundreds of miles.  I’ll be creating short 5 minutes videos to feature the live workshop topics and would love to hear what you think of the new site!  There will continue to be free workshops like “10 Essential Things About Starting a Blog“.
