I used the following link to use yum to upgrade from F7 to F8: 
http://www.ioncannon.net/system-administration/133/upgrading-from-fedora-7-to-fedora-8-with-yum/

In looking at your link, it is similar to the alternate method (does not 
require editing any files).

On the couple of systems I use, my atrpms.repo has the version 
hard-coded (Mythdora 4.0 and F7 custom install).  So it will need to be 
edited.

Also, I only have 32-bit versions.  I have not tested either procedure 
with x86_64.
