 * ok, about a month ago I tried installing wordpress 2.0.2 and it was installed
   but I could never login to the dashboard. I would always get a blank screen.
 * Today I checked out the site again and saw that 2.0.3 was released so I tried
   installing that and hadthe same problem happen. I then went to the index file
   in the wp-admin directory and started editing it up and taking some things out.
   What I’ve come to realize that it was the fetch_rss function that was causing
   the error within the dashboard’s index page. Is there another way I could try
   to get that function to work properly so I can get the latest updates with wordpress
   and whatever else it was gettiing?

 * Try the [Dashboard Replacement](http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/angsumans-wordpress-20-dashboard-replacement-how-to-trim-the-fat-resource-hogging-wordpress-admin-dashboard/)
   plugin.
    It doesn’t fix the real issue, but it should allow you to use the Admin
   interface.
