How to Upgrade your version of Wordpress in a matter of minutes

I was led to an automatic upgrade plug-in for wordpress via Caroline Middlebrook’s Wordpress Niche ebook, and quickly found that it worked like a dream.

Yesterday, I upgraded one of my other blogs and being non-tech as I am I started to copy and paste the new files across via ftp, after putting the blog in maintenance mode and deactivating the plug-ins – oh, and I nearly forgot to backup !  It took me actually quite a while (around 10–15 minutes) to sort the blog out.  Then, I had to take it out of maintenance mode and re-instate all the plug-ins – it took me all together about 20 minutes; but, with the automatic up-grader it did it all for me – understandably I wanted to control it every step of the process, but it did everything in an instant which allowed me to use the time I would’ve wasted on to something more productive.

If you’re wanting to be more productive (and you should be) I’d suggest downloading this plug-in straightaway.
