  Thank you for continuing to try repairing this.
  There still appears to be a problem.
  I have cleared the cache.
  I still am unable to post on my blog.
  I see an empty box and am unable to see the text that I enter, although the title works.
  If I preview the empty box, I see text but no photos.
  The dashboard still claims that various things are loading.

  Just to review, my blog, Gardenbug World, is under the account for Buildingaschool.org
  I am able to see the contents of the edit box for Buildingaschool.org but NOT for Gardenbug World.

  Thanks macmanx.

  “Enabling HTTPS” was the solution for my browser. Fixed the problem in an instant.

  Over on Personal Settings the Browser Connection box that says to always use HTTPS when visiting administration pages was already checked.
  Sorry, but the problem persists.

  sorry to add my woes. firefox ubuntu 11.04, running https everywhere, greasemonkey, and ghostery, NOT ADBLOCK.
  same problems as above; in addition i cannot see any toolbars, and my dashboard never finishes loading.

  many thanks.

  I’ve found a “back door” way of posting. The normal method still eludes me.
  I’d love to solve the puzzle…

  Please describe what you mean by a “back door” way of posting.

  Not easy:
  Normally I click the top left tirle of my blog to access “new”- and when it shows up I work from there.

  This time I clicked on the title of my first account blog in the top right corner, then found and clicked on my second blog title beneath it. Up pops “Settings” and beneath that “New Post”. I worked from there with the copy of my latest posting and inserted photos from there as well.

  Hope that makes some sort of sense!

  If you were affected by the AdBlock issue, this should be fixed now, so please feel free to try again after clearing your browser’s cache.

  If you disabled Adblock to get around this, you should be able to safely re-enable it now.

  Even if you weren’t using AdBlock, this fix may have resolved your problems, so please try again after clearing your browser’s cache too.

  Thanks, it sounds like the problem is fixed.
  I tried entering text as before and it seems to work.

  I never changed my AdBlock settings, so maybe it wasn’t related to AdBlock.
  Good to be back to blogging.
