Did the upgrade and it's mostly working except:
1. The Admin and Login links have vanished (kinda important).
2. The Widgets Admin page doesn't work eg, dragging a loaded Widget to a new location doesn't work and there doesn't seem to be a Save button.
I looked for an admin and login Widget in case it no longer gets loaded by default but no go.

1. Sounds like your theme may have used an old template tag for these links that are no longer supported. Check the relevant template file for the tag used to generate the Admin and Login links. For example, if they were in the footer, you'll need to check your theme's footer.php file. The tag you need to insert is wp_loginout() which will generate both the Login and Admin links appropriately.
2. Try deactivating all plugins and check to see if this resolves the problem. If it does, activate the plugins one by one - checking the post after each re-activation - until you find the problematic plugin(s).

I just upgraded to the new 2.8, and nothing displays AT ALL, not my theme and not my admin page. What can I do the resolve this matter.

I just clicked the upgrade link, and now I get this error message when I go to my wp-admin url -
Fatal error: Call to undefined function cpm_wpmu_modify_path() in /home/milothe1/public_html/strip/wp-content/plugins/comicpress-manager/comicpress_manager_library.php on line 90
Can't log in at all, can't even find my log in.

@davidguzman1970: right-click on your blank/nothing page and view the source, see if it gives you any other errors or notifications there. Also try temporarily renaming your .htaccess file. This file is a hidden file so you'll need to have hidden files enabled to view it.
@MiloTheCloud: Rename your wp-content/plugins folder. This folder has all of your plugins in it and one or more of your plugins is giving you problems. Once that folder is renamed you can login and work on renaming things back and adding your plugins back again. Be aware that some may not work as plugins are not update to work with new versions of WordPress very quickly if at all.
If you are still having problems after that you may need to upload again. Download WordPress 2.8 (or whatever version you upgraded to) and follow the upgrade instructions, uploading the files manually.

I'm using the plaintxt theme that has two sidebars and the Login/Register Widgets normally reside at the top of the left-most sidebar.
Where would I put "wp_loginout()"? I have no knowledge of PHP whatsoever I can try and hack it.
I already did a reupload of both wp-admin and includes folders, no change.

Okay, checked the sidebar.php for the code and found this:
<?php if ( is_home() || is_paged() ) { ?>
<li id="meta">
<h3><?php _e('Meta', 'plaintxtblog') ?></h3>
<?php wp_meta() // Do not remove; helps plugins work ?>
<?php } ?>
So it's not the theme

Solved my problem by reverting to 2.7.1. Spending too much time farting around with this stuff.
