 * I’ve filed a bug about this issue here:
 * [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12315](http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12315)
 * The workaround (until this fixed) is to go into the HTML source, and remove the‘
   rel=”attachment …”‘ attribute that you’ll find on the link tag.

 * === WORKAROUND ===
 * THE PROBLEM (as I experienced it):
    After inserting an image into a post, changing
   the “Link URL” has no effect. When previewing the post, the image link will appear
   to point to whatever URL you specify, but “Update”ing the post has no effect.
 * THE SOLUTION
    The “problem” occurs when the link has a “rel” attribute on it 
   that refers to the uploaded image. You can see this in the HTML source by finding
   the link tag and looking for something like this:
 * `<a href="..." rel="attachment wp-att-1909">...`
 * It’s that ‘rel=”…”‘ attribute that’s causing the problems. WP sees that and rewrites
   the href to point to whatever attachment that refers to.
 * To fix this, simply use the “HTML” tab in the editor to edit the source and remove
   that ‘rel’ attribute.

 * Is the problem you’re having that the checkbox for “Notify me of followup comments
   via e-mail” doesn’t show up?
 * If so, the solution is to add the following line to line 180 of comments.php (
   right below the `<textarea>` tag):
 *  `<?php do_action('comment_form', $post->ID); ?>`

 * I had the blank page problem. Re-applying the default theme fixed the problem.
 * I think the problem was simply that I hadn’t copied over my custom theme files.
   Even though WP appeared to have correctly reverted to the default theme as part
   of the upgrade, something was still broken. So just forcing it to explicitely
   apply the default theme fixes things… for me at least.

 * This seemed to be a problem with the theme I had installed. The problem went 
   away when I re-applied the default theme.
 * (Note that even if the main blog page is blank, you can still get to the admin
   UI at …/wp-admin)
