Hmmm. That does not happen to me (i.e. i can login by visiting
http://blog.okfn.org/wp-admin -- and to login to http://okfn.org via
http://okfn.org/wp-admin). I do know that we have super-tough caching
on http://blog.okfn.org/ ...

In order to assist you in any debugging I have made you a
network-admin so you should now be able to give yourself admin access
to all sites

@Daneil: if you would like access too please let me know. I suggest we
also organize a brief 0.5h irc sysadmin meetup where we can try and
sort this out (early next week ...)

This has been reported several times but we haven't been able to track
down the js bug ...
