   If you click on Permalinks you'll see what I'm talking about

   Impossible to see it, can you provide your login and password, please ?

   JUST KIDDING ALLRIGHT ? :D

   More seriously, you may need to CREATE an htaccess file, required by fancy permalinks structure, it might be possible your server didn't create it for you.

   On your hard disk : create a new text file.txt

   Inside this, write
   

   # BEGIN WordPress
   
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   
   # END WordPress

   Save it as htaccess.txt

   Then use a FTP client to upload this file to the root of your blog's folder.
   In there, rename (with a right click) your file to
   .htaccess

   Reload the blog a few times, and maybe it will work at last.

   I have no intention of trolling you, honestly ! But it appears you're lacking several of the basics here, to handle a blog as soon as it requires some maintenance.
   I suggest you to lasso a tech-adept friend or relative, attach him in front of your computer, and have him explain the stuff mentioned in the present post : file creation, file transfers by FTP :)

   There is a lot of information here including permalinks,
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

   If you search the web there are thousands of sites with tutorials and videos on how to do thing.

   The error you are getting now is because wp can't find the wp-blog-header.php file. Did you move something?
