Upgrade to MT 3.0 Coming

I've just purchased and downloaded Movable Type 3.0.

I've made a backup of all your blogs as of about a half hour ago, and I plan to make another backup right before I do the switch (possibly later tonight, possibly tomorrow).

At some point this weekend, blogs might come down during the transition.

I've never tried to restore a blog from a database backup, so just now I used the "Import/Export" button to "Export" a text version of all the comments and entries posted to my adacemic blogs.

If you've put a lot of effort into your stylesheets and templates, I'd recommend that you back those up too.

I've asked our ISP to make a backup of the whole directory where our blogs are located just before we make the switch, so that if something is wrong we can easily revert to the way things were...
