A New Version?! Wordpress Help Updating a Wordpress Blog

Posted on August 26th, 2008 by Jennifer

Now, since I know how to login to my Wordpress Challenged blog, I head on over to start, well, blogging.

When I get to the dashboard page, I see a message that sends shivers down my spine –

****There is a new version of Wordpress. Please update to version 2.6.1****

First, let me backtrack and say that I didn’t upload the original version I am using.  In that regard, I went with a hosting company that would auto install it for you like Host Gator.

Now, back to my immediate stress — the update!  For days I just went about my business trying to ignore the glaring update message every time I went to login hoping it would magically disappear.

Alas, it did not.  So, today, I decided to bite the bullet and go for it. And I’m happy to report that my updating was a success!

I can’t, however, take full credit.  I found this fantastic step-by-step guide at Aniquito.com.

If anybody else out there is feeling the same anxiety I did about updating their Wordpress blog, I highly recommend you check out Antquito.com for the hand held tutorial treatment!
