   In my attempts to make my wordpress themes writable with the WordPress editor, the use of a .htaccess file has led to an Error 500. (Prior to this, I had no .htaccess file).

   I just uploaded a htaccess.txt file and then renamed it just .htaccess. Once I did that, I get Error 500: Internal Server Error. Now I cannot even log in to my dashboard.

   Any ideas or remedies to my .htaccess fiasco?

   Thanks in advance!

   Themes are made writable by amending the directory permissions (chmod) - not via an .htaccess file. Delete your.htaccess file and let WordPress set it up again.
