As with any update be sure to back up your current wordpress blog prior to upgrading, especially if you have added plug-ins. You primarily want to back up the wordpress database that holds your data and then back-up your version that you are currently using. One such WordPress plugin that backs up your database is WP-DB-Backup. Install the backup plugin to the current version before upgrading. Of course there are many other plugins available for WordPress which makes it a great blog tool!
WordPress upgrades also address security issues as well as visual enhancements so don’t forget to upgrade!
