Thank you but I had already done a search and it didn’t answer my question.
The ban affected wordpress.COM blogs. Do you have a blog hosted on wordpress.COM with a domain name pointing to it?
This is the link to my login page: http://mathgoesawol.com/blog/wordpress/wp-login.php . So I guess not? Unless it points at wordpress.com in the code somewhere?

Hm, when I used your link, I got a white screen, but when I use your “login” button I got the login screen.
It sure is no .com blog, so it would be some ban of WP if the Turks managed to block every website built with WP. Maybe there’s something more simple going on. Did you try your “login” link?
Yeah – the link works for me though.

So the problem is solved, or…?
What problem was there?
Turkey blocked wordpress.com’s servers and as far as I know, continue to do so. But unless you’re blogging using wordpress.COM, you’re not affected.
No. The error I was getting is described here. Since I created that thread I’ve discovered that a ban was imposed on WordPress in Turkey (although now I know it does not explain why I can’t login).
So, I must explore the suggestion given by Otto in the link I gave above. Although perhaps you could clarify what you mean: it will literally be a blank line in the code causing me problems? I’m not sure how cookies work.
I’ve also heard the problem may be that I haven’t upgraded to the latest version (basically because I wasn’t sure how to do it despite instructions and left it).
Matthew: Yes, it is literally a blank line in some file somewhere causing you problems. It is difficult for me to tell you where this blank line actually is, however the usual suspects are at the beginning or end of wp-config.php or any plugin files. Especially the ending of these files can be difficult to spot, there must be no blank lines or any spaces after the final ?> in the code.
