Is there any way someone can post a detailed way for me to upgrade from my Site Shaper install of Joomla 1.6.3 to 1.7 with the simplex template.

I am not using any third party modules yet and am only using Shape5 items on my site.

I really need some details on how to do this without having to redo any of my site content.

We actually put this on our latest blog post:

"If you are upgrading from 1.6 be sure to read Joomla's tutorial here: http://docs.joomla.org/Upgrade_1.6.5_to_1.7. The most important thing to know is that you must be running at least 1.6.5 to perform the upgrade. We have seen many posts of people saying they have successfully upgraded from 1.6.3 straight to 1.7.0. Although it may appear to work there are a few database changes that will not take effect if you're upgrading from a version lower than 1.6.5. If you are not on 1.6.5 or 1.6.6 just use the following patch to upgrade http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/15378/66849/Joomla_1.6.0_to_1.6.6-Stable-Patch_Package.zip and then you can successfully upgrade to 1.7."

So even if you are on 1.6.3 you can still use the 1.6.0 patch to upgrade to 1.6.6
