if you make backups but leave a hole for malicious users to hack your site and cause damage is foolish don’t you think? i’d say it’s better to do both, backup and upgrade.

upgrading to 2.0.7 only took like less than 5 minutes. i’m sure anyone could do that. just like Hamilton said, if you’re serious about it then you should pay attention to it and spend time to do it.

There are hobbyist bloggers, like myself, who enjoy doing their own systems administration.

Fortunately, this upgrade took a few minutes only since it just required copying a few files.

If you classify yourself as a “hobbyist blogger”, where you can’t afford to keep up to date and everything, it pays to sign up for a free blog and let someone else worry about it

To each his/her own, I guess. It just boils down to how serious you are about it. If it’s your livelihood, you should definitely pay attention to stuff like that.

That’s why I patiently upgraded my blogs last night despite the crappy broadband connections. Even though there’s not much to hack in my site, the thought of anything going wrong with it is just scary.

It’s ok to not upgrade as long as you always have a backup. Well, it’s not really ok not to upgrade…but just make sure you do regular back-ups.

that’s why it’s always better to be safe than sorry. I’ve lost my blog data twice and I’ve learned my lesson. I now make backups everyday.
