I've been having some problems lately since my last Wordpress upgrade, apparently I had too much stuff hacked so the upgrade didn't go as smooth as I thought. So I just reinstalled :).

Followed these steps:

  * Backup old DB and blog folder

  * Fresh deployment of wordpress-2.3.1 files

  * Drop database, create database, `wp-admin/install.php`

  * Edit a copy of my backed up SQLdump, and dumped it again in the new DB (only posts, comments, links and data information, no configurations or plugins tables).

  * Customization left.

It was much easier than I expected, I did not run into any kind of problem at all :D .
