Backing up Joomla stuff?

[David Harrison]

Hi,

Coming out of lurk mode!

Just curious, why are you using version 1.0 of Joomla? Version 1.54 is 
available. I have been following your struggles with interest- the 
pretty well match my own!

I had version 1 sort of running on my website- I try making changes 
whenever I have time. I wenbt and had another look at the Joomla home 
site last night and discovered that there have been a number of 
upgrades, however the upgrade from 1 to 1.54 instructions were as clear 
as mud to me! This morning I deleted version 1 from my website and am 
currently uploading 1.54 to it- a very slow process when you have 
satellite internet access!
