Ah, it only took one day to reports some bugs and produce a new upgrade.
I’ve upgraded Wordpress to version 2.5.1 and verfied plug-ins for compatibility. This version fixes some bugs reported in version 2.5

I’ve upgraded my blog software to Wordpress ver 2.5 and will do some testing over the next several days.  I had originally installed version 2.5 but had some glitches and went back to version 2.3.  I seems the upgraded works better then the full install.
