Sphere: Related ContentThere’s a new Wordpress plugin that will automatically upgrade your Wordpress blog to the latest version. This plugin, Wordpress Automatic Upgrade, by Keith D Souza and Ronalfy, completely automates your Wordpress blog updates. No more downloading the latest Wordpress version, unzipping the zip file, and uploading the files via FTP.
This plugin tells you there’s a new version of Wordpress and walks you step by step through the upgrade process. The wizard backs up your current system files and downloads them to your computer, backs up your MySQL database and downloads the backup to your computer then downloads the new version of Wordpress, unzips it and installs it. The only thing you have to do is click on the links that appear as each step completes. What a great plugin!
Don’t believe me? Watch this video to see how easy it is to upgrade your own Wordpress blog.
Update your Wordpress blog automatically!

What are your favorite Wordpress plugins? There are hundreds of free Wordpress plugins and most people don’t take advantage of them to enhance their blog. Some plugins improve the appearance of the blog. Other plugins improve your search rankings. What’s great about Open Source software is that new, free plugins appear almost daily on the internet.
It’s important to make sure you only use plugins from reputable sources. Some plugins are written by amateur programmers and can crash your blog. Other plugins can have malicious code that can download spyware onto your computer. I always read the reviews of each plugin to make sure it’s reliable before I install it. One of my favorite plugin creators is Joost de Valk at www.yoast.com
Yoost recently released his top 11 Wordpress plugins on his blog at http://yoast.com/top-wordpress-plugins/ This is a great list of “must have” Wordpress Plugins.
