And for userlogin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Userlogin should work.
I just tried to log in, but the button is partially covered by the overlay & won't activate.

Does that work?
No, the Globe, etc. is still superimposed, blocking access to everything else.

[[Special:Userlogin]] is the link to log-in. Try clearing your browser cache/purging the page.
I'm afraid this couldn't have happened to a worse person when it comes to computer understanding. I am completely dependent on my technical support guy and he is away at a conference right now. So your instructions will need to be simpler. I really am sorry about this, and I appreciate any help you can give me. This is a first with WP for me. What does clear my browser cache/purging the page mean?
Thank you!
Marc
How about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Userlogin?useskin=nostalgia

Yes! Using the link you gave I was able to do a successful log in. But the damned overlay is still there, and I don't have access to the top row of buttons such as my Watch List, etc.
Thanks
