Here’s a quick checklist to help you in upgrading an existing WordPress site to WordPress 3.0:

(Note: it’s a good idea to check first with the author of any theme or plugin you are using to see if there are any special notes or issues they ahve with WordPRess 3.0)

Here are steps to take to upgrade to WordPress 3.0:

1. Back up your blog. (I recommend the Backup Buddy plugin – makes the process super easy)
2. Copy widgets (I would take screen shots of the code or copy out to notepad file just in case)
3. Upgrade Plugins to make sure you have versions compatible with WordPress 3.0
4. Deactivate all Plugins (you’ll reactivate them after the upgrade)
5. Upgrade WordPress
6. Reactivate plugins one at a time and check to make sure they are working properly.
