  I’m in Bangkok, Thailand. For about two weeks, I could not access my blog. I could see it but I couldn’t get in to write a post or edit or see stats or anything.

  Now, it never finishes uploading. I can get inside but it never finishes.

  Is there something wrong with the wordpress servers or what???

  By writing ‘you people’, which is very rude, you are actually directing it at your fellow bloggers who are here to try and help you. Firstly we need to know what browser you are using, and how you are connecting to the internet. If by chance you are using something other than Firefox you could first give that a try, and see if that fixes things, as it works well with WordPress.

  Thanks for the PC lecture. Awesome. I was referring to WORDPRESS.

  Same thing happens in Firefox, Opera and Safari. It hangs.

  That’s why I think it is something with the WordPress servers.

  Could well be something with your ISP. Have you tried getting online from a different connection, a different supplier?

  (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/

  confirming third party cookies is enabled http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=61416

  confirming JavaScript is enabled http://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=12654

  confirming Flash is updated http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and if required installing the latest version of Flash http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/

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