 * First – I did do a search but could not find the right info
 * I have the most current version of wordpress (i started blogging about a month
   ago)
 * currently I have been uploading files the hard way through an FTP
 * I went to try the File Upload option and after selecting a file and hitting the
   upload button it seems to load but I can not find were to see the file, there
   is no browse button – and nothing on the Manage link on the dash board. I am 
   probably over looking something very simple, please help!
