I logged into my dashboard and it says a newer version of Wordpress is available.

Should I try to upgrade it by myself?

Is upgrading Wordpress difficult ?

When ever there is an available update I always install it. This is because it fixes security holes and bugs that may be in your current version of wordpress. Also if it is a big jump i.e. 2.4 to 2.5 it will give you lots of new feature which will improve your blogging experience. Its difficulty, I would say its very easy, download the new Wordpress and upload everything except from 'wp-content' via FTP to your host. Then run the upgrade script.

I have been waiting a few weeks into an upgrade because sometimes they find flaws.

It's not always necessary or recommended to become an early adopter of a new Wordpress release unless it has some new features you really need.

The newest version of Wordpress is a step backward in my opinion. I am not happy with changes when something works perfectly fine already.

From here on, I'd suggest anyone reading this try a plugin called "Wordpress Automatic Upgrade" or WAU as its called. This plugin is a step-by-step process that allows you to upgrade your Wordpress easily and efficiently from the comfort of your admin panel. Pretty useful and I've been using it for a while.

Is upgrading Wordpress difficult ?

for me, i have seen the plugins that i have used before ... if they have compatible with the new version of wp i will update!

update wordpress is simple... just upload all files on your site except,
1. wp-config.php on root folder
2. wp-content and all includes there.

and make sure you have unactivate all the plugins before upgrade...
thats all...

regards.
