</div> Wordpress really needs someone with some expertise who uses it regularly - there are periodic security problems etc.</blockquote></div><br>I have some experience of this, but am no expert. How easy it is depends somewhat on the customization, but normally it's just a matter of backing up the install and mysql and hitting upgrade within the admin panel. Otherwise one has to ftp it in. Personally I like to use a back up plugin to back up the mysql weekly. I haven't experienced security problems on my wordpress installs for some time (touch wood), seems pretty robust.</div>
