This is likely a stupid question (I'm new to Drupal) - but how exactly do I upgrade from 1.6 to 1.8? I downloaded the bits but am stuck, the readme.txt doesn't really give install instructions.

Please advise, thanks!

Hi, welcome to Drupal! Upgrading modules is as easy as installing them in the first place. Simply remove the existing module folder and put the newer one in its place. Then, run 'update.php' to process database changes, if any.

Even easier would be to use Drush, and type "drush update" on the command line.

Here's some helpful info:
