  Hi

  I can’t post in the body of my blog on the dashboard page. I CAN post in the Title field, but I cannot post in the body field. If I try to navigate away, I get the page that says, I’ve been directed there, because I’m basically not who I say I am, and if I want to post on Star Harvest Farm’s page, then I have to be invited.

  Strange, but true. :)

  I apologize if there is some glaring, ridiculously obvious fix I should have recognized by now…but I really did try for awhile before coming to the forums.

  Thx,
  Sarah

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  (1) How are are connecting to the internet and to WordPress.com?

  I’m asking because the way you connect to the internet (mobile, satellite, DSL, dial-up) and to your blog, and how many proxy server jumps etc. it takes to connect can cause problems. There maybe be problems with your ISP and/or with the proxy servers. Also note that the main dashboard isn’t designed to work with touch devices through the tablet and smartphone browsers.

  (2) Exactly which browser and version of it are you using. If you don’t know click here to find out > http://whatsmyuseragent.com/
  Note: If you are running IE9 in compatibility mode then be aware that it renders as IE7 and IE7 is not supported.

  (3) Have you tried?
  clearing your browser cache and cookies > http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050
  using the browser with all extensions or add-ons disabled
  updating the browser to the latest stable version (not a buggy BETA browser version) http://browsehappy.com/

  (4) Are you logging in using the secure https:// log-in? see http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

  One more question. I just found out my next door neighbor is using his Wi-fi. Is that affecting it?
