My blog is showing a 404 error on the main page.
On some themes only the 404 page is displayed on others it looks like this:
It is set to go to the latest post when you arrive at the blog but I have tried changing it to pages and have removed and made new posts.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

You do not have other pages made up for the site right?

How do you mean?

I was wondering if in the settings you set up a static page for your posts? Also did you change your permalinks? And another issue could be, did you have your site set up on a directory somewhere and then change it to http://baseballbat.org.uk/.
Did you set it up to go to the latest post by only displaying one entry on the blog page? Give a little more info about what you did to get the wordpress install on the server, if you did anything irregular.

After I noticed it had stopped working I tried setting it to a static page but it makes no difference.
I have tried changing the permalinks. It is set to default but changing it makes no difference.
I havent moved the blog or anything like that.
I installed it with Fantastico and it has been working for a few weeks until yesterday.

I am at a los then as to why it is happening unless someone else has some ideas. I have never used a webhosting install service though for my wordpress installs, because I am unsure how it is installing the software. I might suggest manually replaceing the wordpress install with the latest software (MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT OVERWRITE YOUR "WP-CONTENT" FOLDER IF YOU DO THIS THOUGH). Other than that I have no real ideas.
you just need to create a "post" since you deleted the default "Hello World".
Once a post is published that error will go away.

Yes, was thinking of doing a re-install but worried about losing my work.

That is wide column.If you click on a actual post you can see it: http://baseballbat.org.uk/?p=48
Narrow column which makes up your basic post's page and your posts are here, http://baseballbat.org.uk/feed which as you can see is not "feed."
Check settings, general and see if the information is correct there. Somewhere the url is getting messed up.

Looks fine. Can't see anything untoward.

As it turns out, if you put anything after the uk in your url like this, http://baseballbat.org.uk/dddddd/, you will get your blog.
Something must be messed up in the way or directories, etc. that Fantastico did.
