Upgraded to WordPress 3.0.5

I finished upgrading all the blogs and sites using WordPress as CMS from WordPress 3.0.4 to WordPress 3.0.5. I did not encounter any problems at all. Everything went fine.

I just noticed something though. WordPress 3.0.5 has the old version of Akismet. It still has the version 2.4.0. It was also like that when I upgraded to WordPress 3.0.4 from WordPress 3.0.3.

So, if you already have the latest version of Akismet which is version 2.5.3 right now, then you will have to upgrade again from version 2.4.0 to version 2.5.3 even if you upgraded it already, just because WordPress 3.0.5 has still the version 2.4.0.

Before you upgrade using the WordPress automatic upgrade feature, remember to back up your database and files.

Upgrading is easy but backing up the databases of 13 blogs and sites using WordPress normally takes some time.
