 * Okay, silly me upgraded for only the following to show:
 * ERROR: WordPress 2.1 requires MySQL 4.0.0 or higher
 * Can I downgrade back to WP2.0?

 * If you followed the instructions you have a backup correct?
 * I don’t believe the upgrade changed your database so you should be able to just
   delete the WordPress files and reupload the files you backed up. If you don’t
   have a backup of those files then you should be able to find what you need here:
