Would you be up for posting a little tutorial about how to do this with Wordpress? I’m interested in doing something similar, but I could use a little push in the right direction to get me off my duff and learning how to use Subversion.
Finally Subverted

I finally took a few minutes and finished learning what I needed to know about Subversion in order to get my entire blog under revision control. I now have a local working copy that I can modify and test with a local database, and then when it’s working I can commit the changes to the main repository. Then I just update the live install from the server and everything is synced up. Now I can revert my changes, keep a log, and feel a little safer when upgrading. And I can work from multiple machines without getting out of sync! I’m not convinced I’ve got the ideal workflow yet, but it’s working, and I’m happy. As I perfect the workflow, I intend for it to become a part of every web project I work on…

I second Weldon. I find version control crucial when it comes to WordPress installs, DB backups, and Theme manipulations.

I would be interested. I just want to make sure I have a decent understanding of the system first, so give me a few days to experiment and research a little further and I will gladly put together a quick rundown. I think this is sorely needed as it wasn’t that difficult in the end but even the quickstart manuals didn’t make it as easy as it should have been, IMO.
Have your say
