There can be a number of reasons for an Internal Server Error. Here are some thing you can do to solve it:
■ The most likely issue is a corrupted .htaccess file. Log in to your site root using FTP and rename your .htaccess file to .htaccess_old. Try loading your site to see if this has solved your problem. If it works, make sure to visit Settings > Permalinks and reset your permalinks. This will generate a new .htaccess file for you.
■ Try deactivating all of your Plugins to see if it is a Plugin issue. If you are unable to access your WordPress Administration Screens, deactivate your Plugins via FTP by following these instructions.
■ Switch the Theme to the WordPress Twenty Twelve Theme to eliminate any Theme-related problems.
■ Increase the PHP Memory limit
■ Try re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh install of WordPress.

Thank you SO, so much for the reply. I suspect you’re right about the .htaccess file. When I go to http://www.amypyecreative.com/wp-admin I get the error, but when I change it to _old I get a 404 Page Not Found from HostGator. Am I still doing something wrong?
Try checking your site’s error logs for a more specific error message. Your hosts should be able to help you in accessing your site’s error logs.

I feel like I’m getting closer!!
This is my error log:
[13-Feb-2013 23:41:04] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘>’ in /home/amypye/public_html/wp-content/themes/theme1946/footer.php on line 28
[13-Feb-2013 23:41:23] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/amypye/public_html/wp-content/themes/theme1946/footer.php on line 28
[13-Feb-2013 23:42:45] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/amypye/public_html/wp-content/themes/theme1946/footer.php on line 56
This is line 28:
<strong><a>/" title="<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>" class="site-name"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></strong> <p>© <?php echo date ('Y'); ?> <i>|</i> <a>/privacy-policy/" title="Privacy Policy"><?php _e('Privacy Policy', 'theme1946'); ?></a> <?php if( is_front_page() ) { ?><?php } ?></p>
And this is line 56:
<?php } ?>
I’m not super code savvy… Really appreciate the help. If need be I will contact my host.
The code you posted for line 28 is completely malformed. Are you sure that’s correct?

I believe so – but maybe that’s why I’m having issues? I tried taking the whole thing out and nothing changed.
Try switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.
