 * So if anyone could help me that would be great… I’m pretty sure I just effed 
   my wordpress page.
 * I was in my WP-admin page and saw the “update to version 2.6” at the top of the
   screen, so i downloaded it, unzipped, read the read-me; it told me to go to my
   home directory and delete all wp files except the ones changed, I did so, then
   put in the new word press files, “pointed” my browser at the wp-admin/upgrade.
   php and the blank web page with the wordpress logo came up… k so good right?
 * Well then I tried to log in and it didn’t work, so heres where I think I made
   a mistake; I re-downloaded WP v.2.6 and replaced EVERYTHING in my home directory
   with the new files and it asked me to set up wp-config.php like when I first 
   installed WP! Then I tried recopying the files into home directory and now it
   does nothing… I type in my web address and just my home directory comes up with
   no wp files and I cant access WP-ADMIN!
 * please help! What did I do?/what can I do?/what should I do???!!!!
 * FYI– this was the first time I’ve tried to update my WP and I started this whole
   thing off pretty web stupid, and I still am but I’m picking up on a lot.
    Thanks
   for any help –Jeff
