Buttons not showing/not working when creating new posts
-
I am in the middle of creating a new post. In visual mode, the buttons (for bulletpoints, underlining, etc) just show up as empty boxes. If I hover over them their function shows, but it is pretty tiresome. The spellcheck button doesn’t seem to be there at all.
Also, I am trying to add media (a photograph from the media library) to my post but the add media button isn’t working.
This is on top of the problem I posted earlier about the Reader function not working, and distorted pages.
Please help.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Any situation in which your are logged in as the Admin the registered the blog and clicking links does not work for you usually indicates a browser related issue. When that happens you go through the troubleshooting drill I post below to correct the issue.
1. If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.
2. If you are using an IE browser in compatibility mode please disable that mode. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html
3. If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/
(a) Try clearing your browser’s cache http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050

Add both *.wordpress.com and *.wp.com to your list of trusted sites under the Security tab. Make sure to uncheck the box for “Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone.” http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/#frequently-asked-questions
4. Try using another browser.
5. If you are not successful let us know:
