yay! at last. AloneinHome.com had been upgraded to WordPress 2.6!! :party:
Alhamdulillah 
I still new in using WordPress and started AloneinHome.com with WordPress 2.5.1
Suddenly, the latest version – WordPress 2.6 had been released.
“oh no. what should i do??” :confused:
I tried to find out how to upgrade to version 2.6 but.. er.. it’s manual upgrade.. and uh-huh.. it’s quite hard.. you have to..
- download the latest wordpress version
- backup your database and files
- deactivate the plugin and have to remember them. oh. sheesh. i don’t wanna do that.
- delete old wordpress files except certain important files
- upload new wordpress files
- upgrade, reactivate plugin, configure and bla, bla, bla.
uh 
but how i managed to upgrade? jeng3. some of you surely know this.

morning sis,
thanks
oh.. kata tekan = word press.. hehe
best la sis..
saya guna blogspot hampir setahun.. (eh.. atau 2 tahun? dah lupa. huhu)
blogspot limited dan leceh skit. itu je.
wordpress ada pelbagai fungsi yang best. pelawat pun senang nak komen.
saya berpindah ke wordpress selepas syam. ikut jejak langkah beliau. hehe
~ congrats sebab dah upgrade… :clap:
btw, best ker WP nie? kalo org2 yg buta IT, i mean tak tau pasal html n so on, boleh ker nak guna WP? :think: ~

thanks kak
best
saya pun stil baru dengan wordpress ni. xdela susah sangat sebab guide dan plugin wordpress memang banyak kat internet. googling je mesti jumpa. saya kadang2 merujuk kat kawan2 yang lagi lama guna wordpress.
kesimpulannya, wordpress xsusah, best dan memuaskan hati
tapi xbermakna platform lain macam blogspot xbest. best juga. cuma limited sikit.
yang penting – blogging dapat ramaikan kenalan, boleh buka minda dan bertukar2 fikiran
pakcik pon dah update… dan pakcik baru je install automatik plugin tuh.. tq sebab bagitau…
