I just updated to WordPress 1.5. Backing everything up took about 45 minutes. Installing the upgrade took about 5 seconds. Everything went so fast I’m starting to wonder if I did it wrong, or if WordPress just kicks that much ass. We’ll see.
I also added a comment plugin which should give you a nice realtime preview of what your comment will look like as you’re typing it. Thanks to the Blue Parrot for turning me on to this little tweak. I’m about to try it out on this post, if it works I’ll probably go and see what else I can add to pimp my page.
