 * Not sure what’s happening. I tried installing plugins (sexy bookmarks) via Plugins
   > Add New and they seemed to “install” but then they just got stuck for over 
   five minutes saying it was downloading. So, I tried a nother (sociable) and the
   same thing happened. I am familiar with both and they usually take several seconds
   to install. I waited and waited for over five minutes and just closed out. Then,
   I tried uploading the folder to the plugins folder, but Admin still won’t acknowledge
   it.
 * Also, I have the automatic upgrade plugin intalled and activated, but it’s not
   showing on the top with a link to upgrade underneath the WP upgrade notification
   like it usually does when there’s an upgrade. There’s only the WP upgrade??
 * Not even sure how to diagnose the problem.
 * Thanks in advance for your help!

 * deactivate the auto upgrade plugin as it will conflict with the wordpress auto
   upgrade function now built in

 * I have it active on a bunch of other sites and it’s working fine. I’ve tried 
   the WP auto upgrade and can’t seem to get it to work on this or any site.
 * Any idea about the sexy bookmarks or sociable plugins? It seems like none of 
   them are working.
