 * You can update, but as always, there is a risk of something going wrong. The 
   risk is pretty small, but no matter now small you should always make sure that
   you have a full back up of all files on your site, plus the database. That way
   if the worst does happen you can revert to that version of the site and at least
   have it still work.
