Going to be the first on the block to upgrade to WordPress 2.3? Not so fast!

There’s a few things you might want to consider before making the leap:

1. Can you perform the upgrade somewhere other than your live blog? I know, I know, everything is going to go great, but, what if something does go awry? You probably can’t afford to lose your blog for a few days (or more), so do your upgrade on a development server and be sure everything is tested before you push to production.
2. Don’t be paralyzed by your plugins. WordPress 2.3 is not compatible with all WordPress plugins. Check to be sure your plugins are supported in 2.3 before flipping the switch.
3. Are you using a tagging plug-in? Well, WordPress 2.3 has taken the tag movement to heart, and tagging is built-in in 2.3. If you go the tag route, you’ll need to modify your theme.

Just a few things to consider.
