I might start that route. I usually back up my home directory about once a month and I get database backups emailed to me every night with a cron job. I also usually export my blog with the Wordpress tool as well, now and then, so I could try the latest and greatest with little danger of being left without my posts and comments. Of course, as anybody who's followed will remember, I did learn that the hard way.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3856','MrCorey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3856','MrCorey','I should check and see if my host has svn installed.

I will admit that I am fairly lenient - if a comment looks as though it's good and the link isn't questionable I let it stay. The upgrade is a piece of cake, delete a couple of directories, copy/move some files and folders and leave your content folder alone. I would go down the auto update route, but I'm not happy about a third party tool having that much access and the manual upgrade is so easy there's no point. The SVN upgrade is even easier I hear....<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3854','Ray'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3854','Ray','I do delete comments - usually they\'re either Busby flaming SEO comments or they\'re copy\/paste jobs.

I posted a quick reply to a few "I'm scared" answers on <a href="http://www.lostaddress.org">Ray's</a> blog, which sums it all up. I'd track back to the post, but I've already linked to it int he body of the post. :) (personally, I think that some of the comments are just there for links back, but they're on topic, so I can see why Ray left them there - as I would have).<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3850','MrCorey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3850','MrCorey','Its easy to describe the upgrade as well.
