WordPress is a blog publishing system written in PHP and backed by a MySQL database. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License and is available free of charge. The latest version, WordPress Version 2.1 Ella, was released to the public on January 22, 2007.

Here are the steps to follow in order to update Wordpress:

1. Backup Database Tables and Files including .htaccess
        a. Save data using phpMyAdmin or other appropriate tools provided by your webhost, to backup the database used by WordPress.
        b. Save Customizations. This step requires you to backup the files that you have changed or added since you installed the standard WordPress.

2. Deactivate Plugins
Some Plugins might not work with WordPress 2.1, and that is why you want to deactivate them all. To do this go to your Plugin Management Page ( http://example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/plugins.php ).

3. Overwrite Files
Download the last version of WordPress. Upload it to the WordPress directory, overwriting all the files that exist there.

4. Run the upgrade script
Visit your blog's Upgrade Page ( http://example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/upgrade.php ) and follow the instructions that are displayed.

5. Reactivate Plugins
Once again go at the Plugin Management Page and activate your plugins one by one. Check if everything works as expected. If some plugins do not work, deactivate them.

Now you are done! Enjoy the new features in WordPress.
