Blog Azeroth

If you're self hosted and tech savvy enough, back up your current installation and set it up in a sub domain. Make sure you've got your blog data on a separate database as well so that your blog and your prototype is independent of each other.

Run the 2.5 upgrade procedures on your prototype blog.
