Jumping to WordPress 2.5
Just made the jump to 2.5 (from 2.2) and I must say in true WordPress fashion the move was easy as pie. They standard backup database, disable plugins, then upload/copy files process. Some cool new features are the built-in tag support and redesigned dashboard. Moving from Ultimate Tag Warrior (UTW) was a simple matter of importing the tags into the new db schema, then updating my theme. I followed this blog post as a guide.
I also took the opportunity to move the blog into its own subdirectory. Again an easy task with WordPress. In fact, the good folks at wordpress.org already have a quick guide on do this.
There are a few other lingering quarks, but like the other problems, I’m sure they easy to remedy.
