 * I just had P2 installed for me and I cannot seem to update posts of any kind.

 * Why not? What happens when you try to edit a post?

 * There is no edit button.

 * Do you mean on the site itself next to the post? You’d need to add `<?php edit_post_link();?
   >` wherever you want the edit link to appear. Or just log into admin which you’ll
   have to do anyway to edit a post.

 * Yes. There is no edit link on the site itself as it appears in the video demo
   on the P2 website.
 * My technical assistant may understand the <?php edit_post_link(); ?> part, I 
   do not. I hope to figure out this myself without bothering him however.
 * It is my understanding that there is no need to go into admin to edit posts with
   P2 and that this was one of its selling points. It’s demonstrated in the video
   as such.
 * by “<?php edit_post_link(); ?>” do you mean I need to edit the code of the theme
   to add this “edit” functionality as demonstrated in the video?
 * Apologies for sounding slow. I’m a typographer and I have never learned code 
   of any kind.

 * Ah. I apologize, I wasn’t aware P2 was special, lol. Sorry, I hope someone else
   can help you out 🙂
