One of the plugins that is worth a mention is the Maintenance Mode plugin which allows you to upgrade your wordpress blog to the latest version without your site visitors getting ugly code errors during the upgrade process.

Now upgrading is less stressful knowing that your site visitors get a much friendlier and customisable message saying that your site is currently under maintenance.

The plugin is developed by Michael Woehrer who has developed the plugin for free so if you like it feel free to send him a donation as he currently doesn’t support it due to lack to time most likely trying to earn a living like the rest of us.

Example of the default maintenance screen.
