Why can't I write a new post?

  Why, yes, I CAN explain that in more detail.

  Occasionally when I log on to WordPress the format looks like an old HTML version or something, but it’s been happening more and more frequently. Oh, and I can’t write new posts, either. The buttons along the top of the text box (for bold, italic, links, etc.) are totally missing, and the ones that are there (for uploading images, etc.) don’t work. Also I can’t type in the text box, and the one time I succeeded in typing in the box and then clicked the “preview” button, I was taken to a 404 (I think?) error page.

  Help! Please!
