In just a few short days WordPress 2.3 will be coming out with tons of new features that (hopefully) will make you want to upgrade right away. Well while you have a bit of time over this lovely weekend, here are some things you can do to help yourself prepare for the big upgrade on Monday:

• Back up your blog. It never goes out of style, and we have a nifty Codex page with a few different methods.
• Check for the latest versions of your plugins. Here’s a list of known compatible and incompatible plugins with 2.3, Google Sitemaps seems to be one causing a lot of issues. Upgrading might get you cool new features anyway. Don’t forget about our plugin directory.
• Enjoy the last time you have to check for plugin updates manually, as 2.3 will do it magically behind the scenes.
• Read up on how to modify your theme to add tag support.
• Consider switching your install to use Subversion to make updating ultra-easy.
• Make a list of your friends who are less computer literate so you can help them upgrade. (Maybe throw an upgrade party?)

If you have any other ideas put them on your blog and pingback this post.

再过几天,Wordpress 2.3就将以大量新特性发布了(希望如此~~),无疑,这会让你立马就去升级。当然，如果在这个Wordpress发布前的周末你有一些时间的话，这里有一些你可以做的事情来帮助你为周一的更新作好准备。

    *备份你的博客。点击这里，我们有一套绝妙的方法来备份。

    *检查你插件的最新版本。这里有一份目前已知的与2.3兼容或者不兼容的名单，例如Google Sitemaps插件似乎造成很多问题（译者注：我升级到RC1的时候就是这个插件出问题了:( )。省级可能让你体验到很多很酷的新的体验，但是无论如何，不要忘记我们的插件目录。

    *怀念你上次自己手动检查插件的升级，这次2.3将在幕后自动完成。

    *可以开始阅读一些文档来修改你的主题以加入对Tag的支持。

    *考虑使用Subversion来使升级变得巨容易无比。

    *列出一份你的朋友中对计算机不太熟悉的，那你就可以帮助他们升级。（或许可以举办一次升级party)
    *如果你还有其他想法，把他们发表在你的博客上然后pingback这篇日志（译者注：不是本译者这篇^_^,不过你们对我翻译有啥意见可以到我的博客中留言)。
