 * I just got my newest blog up and running, but now this new update comes out. 
   Should I upgrade yet, or wait?
 * I am only using 3 plugins: the all in one SEO pack, another wordpress tracker
   plugin, and google xml sitemaps.
 * I am also using the Tarski theme thats only got a few small customizations. Has
   anyone else with a similar setup successfully upgraded? If so, was there any 
   trouble, should I be aware of anything?
 * Many Thanks,
    Jason

 * There’s been a few reports about site slowness with the sitemaps plugin.
 * The best thing to do is make sure you have a backup of your data. If you have
   a backup, then you can upgrade. If you upgrade and find problems, then you can
   reload your backup. The [codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page) will show
   you how to back up.

 * ccnews – You should also read the [Extended Instructions for Upgrading WordPress to 2.7](http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress_Extended#Detailed_Upgrade_Instructions_for_1.5.x.2C_and_all_2.x_versions_.282.0_-_2.6.5.29.2C_to_2.7)–
   a lot of helpful information there for someone not familiar with the upgrade 
   process. Make sure you follow the directions carefully and I don’t think you’ll
   have a problem.

 * Just finished the upgrade…
 * …thank you WordPress and all of the people that make it such a powerful blogging
   platform.
    My upgrade went perfectly. Sure there were some smal issues that i
   already anticipated. But I realy dig the new admin interface, it is sooo slick.
   All of my plugins work as far as I can tell. I can still add and edit posts and
   ages, so i’m a happy blogger once again.
 * Thanks again to everyone that works so hard to keep WP pimped out ot hte max 
   🙂 Also thanks to the authors of the plugins I use.
 * Jason
