      Great to here, WordPress is a really great platform I shifted from Joomla to WordPress six months back and it has been a wonderful experience

    I noticed, after the update, that almost all my incoming links dissappeared. Do you think that is short term? Other than that, no problems.

    Good to see WP 2.3, but I’m not going to update in near future as there will be lot of bugs here and there. Let a stable version come! :-)

      @Nirmal yes you are right, me too am waiting for a couple of days before I can upgrade but this looks like a stable version

    Have you updated your blog? Are you able to use your Automatic Upgrade plugin? I used to have a problem with your initial release, but I had recently upgraded it to the newest version (0.6), but haven’t tested it yet.

      Hi Pelf,

      Yes I am going to upgrade to 2.3 in couple of days just waiting to know what kind of reactions people who are using it have.

    I am still a ‘novice’ at all things WordPress and find the plugins of great use.

    I spoke with my hosts and they informed me that the upgrade would be about 7/10 days after release date. With an upgrade coming up, I have taken steps to back-up my blog using WP-Database Backup.

    Would I be right in assuming that this will also back-up the file with my theme?

    Anything else I need to keep my eye on? (Eg: PlugIn compatibility issues – upgrading etc) Any help, suggestions, on this would be great.

      Hi RJ,

      No this will not backup the themes and plugins it will only be backing up the core wordpress files.
