Gamerpk now running Wordpress 2.5.1 under the hood

After a failed attempt, thanks to some buggy plugins, I have finally managed to upgrade the CMS that is running this blog of ours. From Wordpress 2.3.3 we are now running Wordpress 2.5.1. The process is fairly simple but needs some (in fact a lot of) improvisation. The upgrade guide on Wordpress Codex is well detailed.
I needed to backup a few tables and databases, disable plugins, delete a few folders because I could as I had root access 
and then just upgrade the older version. I had to save my configurations too, and if you have some experience with Wordpress, you know what I am talking about.
Anyhoo, so thats that, upgrading plugins and maintaining other stuff much much easier. Hope I can further improve the layout. Adios for now.

blog.gamerpk.com in the search field and hit search. Below the list of search result links, there will be a link for a Cached version of the page, click that link to access it’s older (cached version). The second method is simpler and gets you to the current state of the page. Below are the list of various sites from which you can surf the blocked websites!
