CS2007 Upgrade Complete!

 Here are the magical words that everyone loves to hear when undertaking a major upgrade:

"Well, that was easy!"

I was able to jettison Community Server 2.1 in favor of the just-released CS2007 in fifteen minutes flat, including the database upgrade, backups, and replacing the old with the new. That time does not, however, include the six or so hours spent converting my old blog skin to Chameleon, the new theming engine (many thanks to Ben Tiedt's documentation for getting through this one). This was not made any easier by the fact that I didn't know that the SDK was released alongside the product. Either way, I got the job done. More on that exciting undertaking in another post.

I'm sure I missed something, so I'll be looking things over carefully for the next few days, but everything seems to be running (on the first try, even!)
