 * I think that is the version I am using, but I am not sure, I am scared to upgrade
   it in case I lose things.
 * Anyway.
 * I upgraded akismet and it has removed my plugin editor. I just cannot get to 
   it from the admin menu. I put akismet back in the plugins folder using filezilla,
   and copied over plugins.php, plugins-editor.php and plugins-install.php but still
   no joy.
 * The site is working ok apart from akismet which has vanished but I can’t add 
   plugins, activate or disable them.
 * If you can help please reply in easy words, it is the summer holidays and I am
   being constantly talked at by a small child so it is difficult to concentrate!
   thanks!
