I wanted to wait a while before upgrading to Wordpress 2.2 but with the news that it is a mandatory update I decided to go ahead with the upgrade. I would suggest that all other Wordpress 2.1.x users upgrade as well. If you don’t upgrade, your blog may be vulnerable to malicious hackers because no security updates will be released for the 2.1.x branch in the future.
Other than having to update a few plugins my upgrade went pretty well and as far as I can tell, everything is working as it should. If you spot anything that looks broken or out of place please let me know.

If you are not sure, HOW to upgrade your WordPress installation safely, have a look at my article here: How to upgrade WordPress for an easy step-by-step instruction on this.
Thank you Marco. I’m sure people will find your article to be very useful.
So far it looks like everything is ok!

Thanks for the notice David, I will have to put that at the top of my list of things to do. I will also be sure to read Marco’s post as well.
I updated mine two days ago and I love that they moved the Preview Post into a button – It will reduce the number of page loads and prevent falsely inflated stats!
Also, I love the “Deactive All” button for the plugins! That will save some time when upgrading!
