i just started my blog this weekend, too, and have spent the past three days feeling like an idiot because my blog kept having problems: taking a hundred years to load, posts not posting, or posts visible on one computer but not another, changes not appearing, etc.
anyway, i wrote to yahoo customer service, but haven’t heard back.
michael H, you seem to be the resident Yahoo-WP expert. do you think i should do the database trick you suggest and reinstall wordpress completely? also, do you think i’ll EVER be able to use the file-uploader tool when i post?
finally, it seems i have WP 2.0.2. why would yahoo install an old version for me?
