 * I keep getting this error in my dashboard.
    `Fatal error: Cannot redeclare documentation_link()(
   previously declared in /home/sebgonz/public_html/blog/wp-includes/deprecated.
   php:1272) in /home/sebgonz/public_html/blog/wp-admin/includes/template.php on
   line 72` I recently updated my blog to 2.5 and I had some issues with the backend
   not looking right. So I removed my entire wp-admin folder and reuploaded it. 
   That fixed the visual issues, but now I get this error in my dashboard. Can anyone
   tell me where to start or how to fix it?

 * I fixed it. It was really simple. I forgot to chmod my files.
