I don’t seem to get much time for housekeeping tasks and I’ve been meaning to update my WordPress install to the latest version for a while now. While doing so I ran into WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin. This great plugin does all the hard work for you and provides backups of the old stuff before you start so you’ve no chance of losing anything.

The WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin works very well and I have just used it on my blog, so now I have the latest cool version of it!
