]]> I don’t know how many of my readers have blogs, and how many of those blogs are driven by WordPress that is installed on a server, as opposed to blogs hosted by WordPress.com.  But, if you have WordPress, you know that shiny new version 2.3 is being released in a few days, which means upgrading your install.  According to the WP folks, the new version has spiffy new features that are worth upgrading to right away.  They also recommended a bit of good karma by making a list of your friends who aren’t as technically inclined and helping them upgrade, or perhaps even throwing an upgrade party.

I like that idea. So, it got me thinking.

How many of you out there, regardless of geographic location, have WordPress, and want/need help upgrading?  Perhaps you’re all good with upgrading, but you don’t want to face it alone? I’m thinking that maybe I can set up a group chat, and/or a Skype hotline, to help people upgrade their installs.

How many of you are in Massachusetts in the Boston Metro area, and would want to meet up in person?  We could find a place with free wifi and snacks, meet up, and still have Meebo/Skype/whathaveyou open to help.

Interested in the concept in some form or fashion?  Leave me a comment and let me know.  I’m thinking either Thursday September 27 or Friday September 28 in the evening.
