 * Thanks for taking the time to answer
 * When I delete the post from admin it still appears on the home page. When I go
   back to admin it is still there.
 * I also can’t add users.
 * Solutions?

 * Tried another install from cpanel v2.2
 * ioamarketingsecrets.com/blog/
 * Can only use html editor to add/edit posts..not visual editor
 * To delete posts I have to go to edit, scroll down to bottom of page under “custom
   fields” where is says “delete this post”
 * I can’t delete it any other way.
 * Question: Are there some bugs in v2.2?
 * Previous versions ran so smoothly
 * Solutions??

   with no luck.
 * can anyone help me fix this so i can delete the default posts and pages so i 
   can start my blog?
 * many thanks,
 * Christine
