  I just set up a wordpress.com blog the other day, now I can’t update anything on it. Can’t make a new post, can’t change a category name, can’t do anything!

  Anyone have any ideas what could be the problem?

  Strange, it looks perfectly normal.

  Can you sign in?

  What happens when you try to make changes? Do you get a specific error message, or does the change simply not take? Can you get the Media Upload box to appear when you click it?

  thanks for replying.

  yes i can sign in. there’s been a change. now i can update posts, upload media and make posts. the only remaining problem seems to be that i can’t update categories (change the name).

  it simply says: Category not updated.

  Try making a new category with the name you want, adding it to all those posts, and deleting the old one? It’s a workaround and a lot of work, but better than nothing. You can delete the empty category later.
