(And thanks for the little favicon thing nex to my name!) Since I'll be testing on a spare domain, I'll be able to see all the new "wowie" features without threatening developedtraffic. But then, there's that upgrade ... :-) Thanks, Tom. (And thanks for the little favicon thing nex to my name!)

(Mea culpa!) At any rate, your recommendation is a good one; I think when I have some time I'll try out 1.5 on a spare domain. I've quite gotten the idea from your WeblogToolsCollection link that there's quite a bit different in 1.5 from earlier versions. Best not to be surprised on a live site!

Then back up everything - files and data. Keep copies locally as well as remotely so if you overwrite one backup, you can revert to the other. After that you should be fine.

Very curious to see how wp-HashCash works out for you. I'm hoping to get some time this weekend to test it out, though I *may* upgrade first. Thanks — I hadn’t seen your comment before I posted last.

I'm moderating still until I see how wp-HashCash works out. So far, so good.
