 * My blog is set up so that all new users are Authors. I registered myself a “dummy”
   Author account. When I click on the “add post” link in the admin bar, or try 
   to go to the dashboard, I get redirected to the home page.
 * Any ideas where to look??

 * Did you try to re-upload WordPress? Make sure you take a backup before you try.
