Well, that was simple. I thought backing up a DB would be a pain in the arse, but when I bothered to login to my host’s control panel, I discovered I already had phpMyAdmin and with such a small DB, the backup was no trouble at all. Not that I needed a backup; the upgrade went slicker’n owl shit. Didn’t hurt that I wasn’t using any plugins. I’d thought I had a couple activated, but I didn’t after all. Anyway, cool–I’m upgraded and didn’t lose any of my boring ramblings. 🙂
