I'm fairly new to this.  I created my dnn site in December.

I've created a couple parent portals just for experimenting to see how to do it, nothing is there worth saving.

I guess I have 2 questions
1) Should I upgrade my portal from 4.3.7 to 4.4.1  -OR-  blow it away and start over?

This is just a site for me and my family & friends.  Nothing there is commercial or invaluable material that I can't afford to lose at this point. The site isn't even 2 months old yet.  The improvements in 4.4.1 sound like it's worth going to.

2) If I were to upgrade it, HOW do I upgrade it?

If it matters, I'm on GoDaddy and don't have access to IIS, admin access to the SQL database, or anything like that.  I can blow away the SQL database and start over if need be.

I'd of course prefer not to, but if I'd see a performance improvement by blowing it away and starting over, vs just upgrading, I'd be willing to do that.  I don't see myself ever using the STORE module for example, so losing it is no big deal.  I also purchased a photo album module so losing the gallery in 4.4.1 isn't a big deal.

Anyway, some advise would be appreciated.  Thanks,
Mike
