  Hi,
  I started a new blog yesterday, choosing the theme, widgets etc… published it…
  all was good
  now I want to edit the text widget but I can’t find how to do it on my dashboard. Nothing shows how to edit the widget or switch to a new theme for the matter.
  No more “presentation” on the dashboard….
  Can any1 help please??
  thanks :o)

  No more “Presentation”? Are you sure? That tab should be there. When you click on Presentation, there should be tabs for Themes and Widgets.

  Refer to this page for widgets: http://faq.wordpress.com/category/widgets/

  and this page for changing themes: http://faq.wordpress.com/category/themes/

  no, when I go to my Dashboard, I have : write, manage, comments, blogroll, profile and upgrades
  Then if I look into each of those menus, I have no PRESENTATION whatsoever or theme choice etc… let alone widgets…

  where should “presentation” be ? under “manage” ??

  anyway, it’s nowhere …. heeeelp please

  Presentation should be a separate header. It should be after Blogroll and before Users. It’s definitely not there?

  Which browser and operating system are you using? Try logging out of WordPress, clearing your browser cache and cookies, and trying again. If that doesn’t work, do you have a different browser you can try it in? Something like Firefox or Flock if you’re using IE or Safari?

  If you still don’t see it, it’s most likely a backend issue you’ll have to contact staff about once support opens as they’re the only ones who can help.

  after “blogroll”, I don’t have “users” (not there at all either). I have “profile” and “upgrades”.

  I use firefox…

  I go try to do everything you said and come back to tell you…

  thanks for your help
