Instead of seeing the word HTML alongside "Visual" on the editing page, the word "Text" shows up in grey. Nothing happens when I click it.
I'm also unable to embed links using the link button (the icons are greyed out).
Also having problems with Tags ... tried to add tags to my Aug 23 post and it won't work.
These problems also appear on other blogs that I run. Any suggestions?

Found a partial answer to the no tags problem.
I still can't add a tag when I'm in editing mode BUT when I went into the list of my posts, then clicked on "Quick Edit" I WAS able to add a tag ... so I do have a partial work-around.
Still no progress on using html.
They recently changed the name of the tab from "html" to "text" - nothing else about it has changed.

You're welcome!
I'm on a Mac, and prefer Firefox over Safari - it may be perception, but it seems faster. A friend who only has dial-up (!) also found Firefox faster, so you might want to consider trying it.
I've learned first to clear cache and cookies, and then to try turning off add-ons - DNT and AdBlock seem to be the biggest culprits.
Glad to hear it is working for you!
