White screen for www.wordpress.com and can't upload media
-
Hi. When I go to http://www.wordpress.com I am getting a white screen. I was able to google into the site in roundabout fashion and saw something about plug-ins (beyond my understanding) and a recommendation to delete browsing history (IE) which I did to no avail.
I have also discovered that when I do get into my blog via roundabout googling, the menu box doesn’t seem to be working correctly. If I press upload media to add a picture, the menu box won’t get out of the way to let me work within my blog.
Can you help me fix this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If nothing she has suggested works for you, please write back with the information she requests in #5, particularly the information on the browsers (and the browser version, which is very important) that you have tried. Since you’re using IE, you should try Chrome or Firefox to see if that helps.

I was able to access the web site on my Mac Air laptop so posted from there yesterday. This suggests to me that the problem is with my HP desktop computer and not with the WordPress site.
I am traveling tomorrow so saved your replies to a Word document so I can try to address it when I return from my trip.
I think my desktop computer is failing…
