While sifting through all of my rss feeds, I happened to catch this little tidbit about a plugin called WordPress Automatic Upgrade (or WPAU for short). I figured that since I was a rev or 2 behind… why not?
I downloaded and installed the plugin and very quickly, I was on my way to upgrading (fairly) painlessly to WP-2.7.
The only issue that I had was the plugin dying during the DB backup part. I ended up just manually backing up the DB and skipping that step in the plugin. Everything else was smooth as silk!
The look of the control panel for 2.7 is VERY different to prior versions. I haven’t decided whether or not I like it, but I have been using scribefire to write my posts for so long, that, aside from the occasional comment spam moderation, it has been a while since I’ve had to login to my wp-dashboard. Anyways, I’ll explore around and let you know what I think…

Glad you found WPAU useful. I upgraded to 2.7 and the interface is great. Must admit that I will have to try ScribeFire. I have it installed but have hardly used it.
