Hmmm. OK< I guess Its time for me to really do this. I was given this instrution:

1. Backup your database.

2. Deactivate all plugins.

3. Switch to the default theme.

4. Carry out a series of smaller upgrades: 2.3.3 -> 2.5 -> 2.7 -> 2.9 -> 3.0. Make a new database backup after every successful upgrade step.

But i have no idea how to back up my database. Or to even begin executing the upgrades. Is there an stp by step guide to help me with this?

and so….what happens if I just stay a 2.3.3? I’m running it standlone in WordPress, and it does everything I want/need. The process you outlined sounds like a LOT of effort and potential for grief.
