Before doing the upgrade, be sure to do these ten things:

1. Make a complete backup including your theme.
2. Perform any updates that WordPress notes to your plugins.
3. Check the compatibility of your plugins.  This site is useful as is this WordPress site.
4. Deactivate all plugins
5. Check the compatibility of your theme.  This site is useful.
6. If there are theme compatibility issues, check for fixes from the theme developer.
7. FTP the updated files (be sure you don’t overwrite customizations).
8. Perform the automatic update to 2.8 from within WordPress
9. Reactivate only the compatible plugins.
10. Check any plugins that were not listed as compatible or having known problems, by activating one at a time.

Of course you could always wait until 2.8.1 to be safe!
