Hi there,
I noticed my site is outdated (Drupal 6.19).
I was wondering if I need to upgrade to Drupal 6.34 first before I upgrade to the newest 7.34.
Or can I just go ahead and upgrade to 7.34?
Is there anything I should keep in consideration so I don't do this wrong?
Any links as to where can I start off with Drupal 6.19 to upgrade it to 7.34?
Thank you much in advance!

Upgrading major versions of Drupal
I wouldn't recommend upgrading from 6.19 to 7.34. First, update your Drupal installation to the latest version of 6.x (which I believe at the time of this writing is 6.34).
After you've updated to the latest 6.x version, you can begin your "major" release upgrade (i.e. 6.x to 7.x).
Major release upgrades are much trickier than minor ones. Before attempting, I would recommend going through the provided documentation thoroughly (and backup, backup, backup):

Happy Drupaling!
