But I don't think it's supposed to look like this. Why is the User Interface so... lacking? I'm supposed to help my church with the website, but the UI is so messed up that I can't do anything. Am I lacking a plugin or something?

lol @ zombie.
no, but it looks like their css file is missing from their WP installation.
figure out which version they are running. If they are running no plugins or customizations, upgrade. If they are, download that version again and re-upload only the wp-admin folder.
Version 2.8.4.
This:

The thing is that this is the most recent version of WP.
ya, so download wordpress again, and FTP the files over. First just replace the current wp-admin and contents with a new fresh wp-admin folder, if that fails, transfer over the whole thing.
Uhhh... I don't have the FTP information. ;-; I could ask, but if there's a general "formula" for deriving it from the url or something, that'd be nice to know.
EDIT: Does wp-admin only affect the admin page and wp-content affect the actual site?

I think it depends, I've only done this stuff once a year or two ago, but I think it has to do with the server provider. Don't know, but that's my hunch.
Yeah, you're right. I found that out a bit ago. :P GoDaddy hosting puts an advertisement on there which messes up with the w/e in everything BUT Internet Explorer (go figure >_> )

I'm not an artist like you. :mad: Also, I just used the polygon tool thing and did it quick-quick.
why not just draw it with the pencil tool or use Jing (http://www.jingproject.com/). Seriously though look for the css sheet. Ask for ftp aswell.
You should be able to get the url for the sheet from the source of the website. just look for .css
i'm thinkin' them crazy religious fools fucked up with the ftp, I tell you what.
