    I can only create a new posting by accessing dashboard from stats page and /or edit button. Also I can no longer upload media to a posting?

    When Staff implemented the Reader that resulted in lots of frustrating clicks for bloggers who did not want to reach the Reader, and who only want to know how to login to their sites.

    The Admin login link for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:
    http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

    All you need to do is replace NAME_OF_BLOG with your actual blog name in the URL.

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I can now access the Admin page. I have not used up my media allowance and have 80% capacity remaining When I try to upload media (photo images) I get the same message each time which says “HTTP” error. Never had any issues before with picture sizes etc.
