 * After installing WordPress 2.6, everything seemed to be fine. I was able to login
   successfully, and while I hadn’t yet added any templates or plug-ins, I was able
   to proceed to the settings section.
 * There, I changed some basic settings – time zone, name of the blog, whether or
   not someone has to register to post comments, and the email address to which 
   my notifications should be sent.
 * I saved those settings, and then was sent back to a plain login as shown in the
   image at the URL below:

 * Then when I login successfully, it doesn’t provide the dashboard config options.
   It’s almost like an HTML page without the associated stylesheet, as shown in 
   this image:

 * I don’t know what I could have done to cause this to happen, especially since
   I only modified settings from within the admin control panel. Any tips to get
   me back on the right path?
