   I used the ones that were presented first, that outlined back up of the data base and key files, then upload the new WP files, and finally browse to http://your.isp.com/wordpressfolder/wp-admin/upgrade.php

   So far so good, I go back and reactivate my plugins - all it fine, and it says V2.0.6

   THEN I find totally different instructions for updating which include deleteing directories, and says NOTHING about running upgrade.php

   So which is it?

   I reminded of a comedy skit where one guy tries to defuse a bomb and the other on reads the directions to do it...

   "Now cut the green wire"

   *snip*

   "But first...."

   *Yelling and running away...*

   What version did you upgrade from?

   Can you provide a link to the upgrade instructions you followed?

   It seems the fault is my own. I skimmed over the first paragraph (http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress) which does have a link specifically for updating FROM 2.0.5 to 2.0.6

   So, now that I've made a total foole of myself, Have I done any harm by following the other instructions? Should I now re-upgrade or am I covered? (The site http://www.assaiki.com seems to work fine)

   No you're good. Also, running upgrade.php, though not necessary for 2.0.5 to 2.0.6, should do you no harm.

   Phew... Good - words like "Security update" always make me nervous, good to know I made the update.
