 * i am off site working on a laptop trying to make new connections, etc so i may
   work on the blogs. two sites were accessible, business as usual. now all of a
   sudden both sites in the admin section are ” generic ” layouts. what happened?
   what to look for, to do?

 * just did a complete reinstall on one and problem is fixed. assume other will 
   do same. not sure how same thing could have occurred on two different sites.

 * well, reloaded both and both looked normal. i then activated a plugin and the
   layout went generic. i reloaded wp-admin and everything looked ok. then reactivated
   a different plug (execable PHP widget v1.1, a very benign plug) and generic layout.
 * then went to the other brand new site with no plugins and clicked to a different
   menu in admin and !! generic layout. very perplexing. i am going to ignore generic
   layout while away from home and hope this does not happen at home. any thoughts?
 * note: on a mac using firefox v2.005 – hmmm. going to upgrade FF as soon as i 
   post this.

 * upgrading to FF v3.0.5 appears to fix this problem.
