 * You mean how do I enter posts? I use the write post window, with the plain setup(
   no wysiwyg). Why would I need to “style” anything? I just write, I don’t want
   a whole lot of stuff “styled”. I use caps for a word I want emphasized. That’s
   it.
 * Sometimes I use the quickpost plugin without even accessing the write screen.
   Unless there’s some compelling reason to add html all over the place, I wouldn’t
   do it.

 * I experience the same problem as Mattew79Ita; I come to a blank page as soon 
   as I press the login button. I have tried to delete the cache, but the problem
   is still there…

 * So, did some goofing around with this today and realized clearing cache isn’t
   a definite fix.
 * However, for me at least, I found that wandering through my wp-options table 
   and killing [almost] everything that has a value starting with “rss_”
 * `SELECT *
    FROM 
   wp_options
    WHERE 
   option_name LIKE 'rss_%'
 * I then willfully and with malice deleted those rows that started with rss_ and
   a long string of gobbledy-gook. Suddenly I can get back to my Dashboard page.
