I just manually uploaded the 2.8 files and then clicked on the upgrade button when prompted. Now all I see is a black screen. Not another speck of anything nor any error messages. Through my host I can see that the database is there with all the data, but nothing is being displayed when I go to the site (www.boyandgirlscouts.com).
[resolved] 2.8 Upgrade to Black Screen of Despair (2 posts)

Posted 2 years ago #Fixed it (kind of). On line 20 of sem-google-analytics-admin.php was the code
if ( !function_exists('get_site_option') || is_site_admin() )and the system would bomb out because it couldn't find an is_site_admin function to run. So, I simply deleted the references (there is another one later on) to this function and the blog came back.
It seems like a poor design to have the entire software stop with no error messages or anything when it encounters something as simple as a function not found error, but that's what happened. Now, I'm going to experiment with the analytics plug-in to see if they've upgraded it to account for the missing function in 2.8
