Automating WordPress 2.5 upgrade
I recently upgraded my blog to WordPress 2.5. The manual process is real cumbersome. Today I came across few plugins which help in almost automating the upgrade stuff.
WordPress Automatic upgrade: As per description this plugin first takes backup and then upgrades. I didn’t try this one, though.
Instant Upgrade: I upgraded one of my blog using this. It doesn’t take care of backup but otherwise the upgrade was super smooth. Just few clicks and you are done.
Happy upgrading !
OTN forums etiquettes
Finally finally finally a small sticky has been posted on OTN Database forums homepage. But its there only on Database forums page not on PL/SQL. It reads like:
Posters, please mind these common-sense rules when participating here:
- When asking a question, provide all the details that someone would need to answer it. Consulting documentation first is highly recommended. (See http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/2007/03/02 for more hints.)
- When answering a question, please be courteous; there are different levels of experience represented here. A poorly worded question is better ignored than flamed – or better yet, help the poster ask a better question.
Thanks for doing your part to make this community as valuable as possible for everyone!
