I’ve upgraded three sites to WordPress 2.8.1. None of them missed a beat. Also, PhotoSmash seems completely unfazed by its new bedfellow. The auto-upgrade function/feature purely rocks. It takes less than a minute, while FTP’ing the entire 2.2 MB to you server can take a dozen. Thanks for the smoothness, WP Heros! Cheers, Byron
