Hi everybody.
I have a blog in mi site for more than two years, it's 1.5.1.2.
Very old, doesn't?
I want to try the new 2.3, but I'd like to know if there may be a problem if I do that upgrade, or symple I should do a fresh install.
Thanks for any comments!
No, do an upgrade. But upgrade to 2.0.11 first, then upgrade that to 2.2.3.
In theory, I've upgraded from a 1.5.x blog to 2.2 but others have had problems so do it in two steps as suggested above.

Of course, please have backups of your WordPress files and database before beginning the process. See WordPress Backups.

The only other thing to keep in mind is that there is a chance that the upgrade will break your theme if it is that old. If you keep a backup, if you need to reverse the upgrade you can go back if you aren't willing to fix your theme or find a new one.

Ok, it was easier than I thought.
I was really afraid of upgrading my blog, I feared total mayhem, but following instructions was straightforward.
I've installed 2.0.11 and I'm looking forward to 2.3
Thanks!
