Not sure why this is as I am a new wordpress user. When trying to create a custom theme I am going through and setting up categories and pages to use within the theme as static components.
However as I try to use the 'preview' button and even try to link directly to the page and/or category I created I am getting 404 errors.
Do I need to customize the 'category.php' and 'page.php' file to reflect the 'index.php', 'header.php' and 'footer.php' changes?
Thanks in advance
You shouldn't have to make any changes to your template files to get rid of 404 errors, unless you have hard-coded links into it.
Perhaps if you provided a link to your site, I could be more helpful.

I do have hard coded links in the navigation. But it doesn't make sense to me that after posting a new blog entry then pressing the preview button that I would receive 404 errors.
Is WordPress installed in a subdirectory or sub domain?

A sub-directory.
I would provide a link but it is on a non-routeable net.
Should I try to move it to the root web directory?

Got it figured out.
Had to add the .htaccess mod_rewrite for friendly links as well as enable AllowOverride in the httpd.conf file.
