# Upgraded to WordPress 2.0.5

## Upgraded to WordPress 2.0.5

I run my website and blog using [WordPress](http://www.wordpress.org) – it’s a great content management system as it’s easy to use, extremely versatile and has an unbeatable price.  
The latest version – [WordPress 2.0.5](http://wordpress.org/development/2006/10/205-ronan/) – has been around for about a month now, and I’ve finally found the time to upgrade my installation.  
Having taken a full local back-up of all my files, the WordPress upgrade was as simple as uploading a set of new WordPress files by FTP and running through a database upgrade wizard.  
All very straightforward and the site was only down for a matter of seconds. I’ve tested the site and everything seems to be working fine, but do let me know if you spot any glitches.
