 * Wow!
 * Guess v2.6 is great, in this and that — but …
 * It looks like now I have one serious problem with v2.6: that is, three of my 
   recent posts cannot be edited (I wanted to correct some grammar, and rewrite 
   some portions as well).
 * With the 3 posts, all I get is a blank screen — no editing sections, no text,
   no tags, nothing!
 * The 3 posts are still there, i.e., viewable at my blog ([http://www.thoughts-and-things.com](http://www.thoughts-and-things.com)).
 * I have gone to the cpanel to “check” and even to “repair” the SQL database … 
   The report: ok for all sections of the DB.
 * Then, at WordPress’s “Site Admin”, I have tried deactivating all the plugins,
   deleting everything that are in the “wp-admin”, “wp-content” (after saving the
   plugins and themes) and “wp-includes” folders … then re-installing v2.6 (via 
   FTP). No dice! Still could not edit those 3 posts.
 * I have even tried “giving up” on v2.6 and going back to v2.5.1 … didn’t work!
   I ended up with ZERO blog! (Even after deleting all the three “wp” folders from
   v2.6 and reinstalling those three folders from v2.5.1 …
 * Now, it looks like I am stuck with v2.6 … wondering what’s happening?
 * Does anyone have the same problem — cannot edit any of your posts?
 * I have read the WordPress Blog (some), but there’s just too much tech stuff, 
   I am not into php and stuff at the moment. Anyway, my problem is probably something
   simple to fix! Does anyone have a clue?
 * (Actually, I have used the UltraWeb Sucker to recover every posts and pages in
   my blog — it’s not an ideal solution, but at least I get back almost the whole
   shebang (html plus images), including the 3 uneditable posts. Who knows? Am thinking
   of chucking up the whole WordPress and trying some other blog system, vis-a-vis
   my domain name “thoughts-and-things.com” … But that’s an absolute last resort,
   as I kinda like WordPress and the “bookidea-11” theme I have chosen to use. Anyone
   think the problem has anything to do with the theme?)
