Thank you, Mark, for your reply!

Re: “the auto install fails and gives various reasons” one time it says the plugin is already installed, but I can’t see it in the Plugin directory via FTP. Another time it locks up on “Installing Plugin.” Another time it says “Plugin installation failed.”

What happens when you try to upgrade?> I don’t know that it’s not upgrading or just not removing the message that I need to upgrade. I tried auto upgrade and it said it failed. So I tried it manually, followed all the steps, etc. And it seemed to go okay but the message is still there and it says I’m running 3.1.

“the Dashboard doesn’t show them” You mean the plugins tab? No, the plugins themselves. I can see Akismet and Hello Dolly on the Plugins tab. When I try to install a plugin automatically, I get errors as noted above. When I install manually, even though I can see the folder and it all looks okay via FTP, the Dashboard still only shows Akismet and Hello Dolly. And then, even when I deleted the plugins manually via FTP, it now says the plugin can’t install because it’s already there (did this for sem-dofollow, for one).
