I’ve been trying all afternoon to upgrade WordPress (the software my blog runs on) from version 2.1 to 2.2. You’d think this would be a doss.

It’s not.

I’ve been working on this for three hours, not including the hour I spent on it a few days ago. For a project that updates as frequently as WordPress, they need a better way to upgrade. The current way is a mess, and I’m sick of it.

Follow up: I finally got it working. However, it required the use of a graphical file transfer client using Windows. I couldn’t copy files locally and get things working. In addition, the documentation on WordPress’ site directed me to use the wrong files for the upgrade. And I haven’t found any compelling reason for the upgrade.
