Want a stress-free way to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress? WordPress Automatic Upgrade is a wordpress plugin that deals with the hassles and finicky steps involved in upgrading from an older version of WordPress to the latest and greatest.
The video is on the longish side – 20 minutes, broken down into three videos. There’s a bit more to do here than there was with Akismet though. The first part is below, and after that, you can check out part two and part three.
A few quick notes:
When I talk about programs to deal with zip files, I mention Winzip (pretty much the standard solution), WinRAR, and 7-Zip. Except, to earn my Doofus Point for the day, I called 7-Zip 7-Up. Refreshing!
I apologise for the Screentoaster watermark at the bottom right of the video – I’m at a loss as to why this video has it (will dig into it) but it doesn’t obscure any important text, which is a relief. It’s a good chance to mention though that Screentoaster kicks ass! It’s free, creates huge hi-res videos, and is super-easy to use.
