 * I need help upgrading the version of WordPress. I downloaded the new version 
   but I don’t know how to install it.
 * Also, I was wondering why when you click on our blog links or when you try to
   go back to older posts, we are linked to another page that says error 404. Can
   you help me out with that?
 * Best,
    Tina McKenzie

 * Complete a backup of both your files and database as described in [WordPress Backups](http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups).
 * Then review [Upgrading WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress).
 * After the upgrade is completed, update your permalinks by visiting [Administration](http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Panels)
   > [Settings](http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Panels#Permalinks) > [Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Permalinks_SubPanel)
   and clicking on Save Changes.

 * I am not very tech savvy and I don’t want to ruin the blog, so if possible could
   i give you our account info and have you guys upgrade for us?
 * I’d greatly appreciate it.

 * As for the 404 — that was this suggestion:
