I would suggest you upgrade for better security reasons. It is very easy to upgrade, just don't forget to back-up your files and database first. It has an instructions also, don't worry.  Wink

i hav read that wordpress 2.7 will come with built-in auto upgrade function.
that may be great if there is an option to opt out also.

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 ?

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.

I agree with Dave,  its often a good idea to wait a little while while any bugs are sorted out unless the new version has specific features you require. The same could be said for any software upgrade, ie mozilla, IE  etc etc.

There are plenty of step by steps lists on how  to upgrade wordpress around, the main one of course being on the Wordpress Codex  site.

I think twice before upgrading my Wordpress blog because sometimes, upgrading means some of the plugins stop working.  Weep
