Just over a week ago, Nanoblogger version 3.4-rc1 was released. I quickly downloaded it and was eager to check out the "action based" command-line interface. After referencing the User Manual and the included generic upgrade instructions, I attempted to upgrade this blog. The result: A big mess.

The most likely reason for the big mess was the fact that the RC stripped out several nice CSS stylesheets, and by using the upgrade instructions included, data gets lost. I did, however, figure out a simpler and painless upgrade path: Simply make a copy of your blog directory and use the RC with that. That way all data is preserved(including CSS stylesheets).

So Kevin, if you're reading this blog post, I have two suggestions for the next RC: 1. The upgrade instructions need to be changed or implement a "blog upgrade" command to make upgrades easier. 2. Bring back the CSS stylesheets you cut out or at least throw them into the "extras" tarball.

That being said, I will upgrade to the RC when I make my next post, just for that "my mood" plugin
