What I did to solve the problem was disabling wifi before I started any of the process. Basically click on the wifi in the upper right hand corner (where you would normally select the network), and uncheck "Enable Wireless." I have now bricked, and recovered mine more times than I can count. By far one of the most finicky routers I have ever owned. Jay, I had the same problem initially with my flash.

Others cons of using wordpress.com is: - Losing traffic due to the tagging system. While normally category links on a regular wordpress blog lead to your own categories, on wordpress.com they lead to the tagging system which confuses people. This pulls your visitors away from your blog. - At the mercy of Automattic. For whatever reason they could ToS your blog and delete it. Just a simple affiliate link has been known to cause a blog to be shut down. Also they may label your blog as mature and remove you from the tagging system without notice. - Backups aren't accessible. You don't have access to them. You have to get staff to intervene and usually they'll only do so if the cause is something on their end. - Stuck with Akismet. If you get fed up with it or have too many false positives, there's nothing you can change. Other anti spam solutions exist that may work better but you don't have that option. - Feature limited. Again you're at the mercy of Automattic unless you shell out $500+ a month for their VIP program. If you need support added for something, you can suggest it but usually that's a black hole. - At the mercy of your neighbors. Yes, they have warez and child porn and all the rest that may offend you. Hope this helps, -drmike You may want to double check your sources as the “70 theme” quote is over a year out of date if not more.
