For spring cleaning I’m upgrading WordPresses and implementing design changes. So far, the upgrades have gone remarkable well. What’s the quickest way to upgrade a WordPress blog?

After you untar it, type “rsync -rv /newblog /oldblog”

Voila! That will overwrite the files with the updated files. Log in and you’ll be prompted to repair your Database. After you do that, check and see if any of your plugins stop working.

So far the only plugin that broke was a meta plugin that had an update.
