 * Hi, all,
    Tried setting errors to 0, tried blitzing the PHP and installing WP
   again… I think it’s a problem in my database, but I’m not sure where to look 
   for a fix. Whenever I post or update a post, I get the cascade of notices/warnings
   reproduced below, in lieu of a new post page. Any suggestions? —- Notice: Undefined
   index: excerpt in /home/cavlec/public_html/cavlec/wp-admin/post.php on line 51

    that alone leads me to beleive that
   there might be a problem with whitespace in any of the files that are mentioned,
   especially the ones you might have edited (wp-config.php ? ) Also, there variable
   indices referred to might mean there is a problem with caching.

 * Whitespace! Could be an FTP problem, then. I’ll check into that, thanks.
    How
   would I go about fixing a caching problem? And would it have any other symptoms?
