 * Hi there.
 * I’ve just installed a fresh copy of WordPress on my web host & everything seems
   to be working…. except wp-admin/edit.php.
 * I get a 404 error message stating the file cannot be found, but when I check 
   my FTP server, it’s definitely there?!
 * I’ve tried re-uploading it, but can’t seem to get it to work.
 * Any ideas?
 * Cheers,
    Mike

 * It appears that if I don’t have any blog posts, then edit.php won’t load. I’ve
   QuickPress’d a blog post and now it works.
 * Strange!

 * There should have been a default ‘Hello World!’ post when you installed WordPress.
