I just got the notice inside my wordpress dashboard that 3.0 has been released. Like an idiot, I went ahead and installed it without thinking. I can do this because I keep a nightly backup of the wordpress database contents *and* the wordpress directory files. If it had blown up, I could easily revert. I’m working on a post about my backup strategy, and how you can implement it yourself.

Also, FWIW, 3.0 looks pretty slick. It feels faster than the older versions, and the dashboard is a little gentler on the eyes. I’ll work up a full feature change post soon, as well.
