This is becoming a daily habit almost. The new major WordPress 2.1 version, code-named Ella for Ella Fitzgerald, is now installed with no problems. Next update isn’t due till April 23 thankfully! Regular updates are intimated from now on which will make it better for using WordPress on client sites.

Well, skipped the flawed 2.1.1 luckily and have now upgraded to 2.1.2!
