And since there are active bloggers here that uses wordpress, he gave us the chance to meet and chat with him.

The meetup was great. And as expected, questions were thrown at Matt. Like how wordpress started and what wordpress users will expect with the upcoming version of WordPress 2.8. Wordcamp was also one of the topic which I hope we will also have it here soon in Dubai. Too bad they had Wordcamp in Philippines few days before my vacation.

I met bloggers and website owners like Fouad, Mohammed, Paul of shufflegazine, guy from Trademedia ( sorry I forgot his name ) and many more.

Here are some of the pictures taken from the meetup. Sorry for the low quality as it was my first time to use a SLR camera. I’ll start my photography class soon.

And since then I have never upgraded my wordpress 2.1. Today I finally upgraded to wordpress 2.7. I never thought upgrading wordpress was that easy. It actually took me more time reading how to upgrade than applying it myself. I was hesitant that I might do something wrong and problems will occur but I was wrong. It only took me few minutes upgrading to the latest version of wordpress 2.7.

This is what I did.

1. I did a full backup of my wordpress database. I did a back up on my cpanel. ( The most important before doing something on your website specially if you are not familiar with what you are doing )

2. Download WordPress 2.7 from WordPress download.

3. Using Filzilla as my FTP client, I downloaded my /wp-content folder so I can have a back up just in case something comes wrong ( This is where the themes,plug-ins and content are stored )  But you can skip this step as it is waste of time. You can proceed on step No.4.

4. Unzip the downloaded wordpress 2.7. Using my FTP, I open the wordpress 2.7 folder and started overwriting my files. ( Remember not to overwrite your /wp-content folder )

5. I opened my site and clicked on the Upgrade WordPress.

That’s how simple it is. Still hoping that there will be no errors afterwards.
