   I'm trying to log into my wordpress, and when I goto the log in screen I get a blank screen.
   http://chemicalscream.net/wp-login.php

   however, if I goto http://chemicalscream.net/wp-login.php/ the log in screen will appear, but I still can't get it to log in, it'll go back to the blank screen when I try to sign in.

   Heeeeeeeeeeelp me!

   Thanks! ;)

   My guess is that something happened with your .htaccess and permalinks. If you go to http://chemicalscream.net/wp-login.php/ your login page is there, however once the trailing slash is removed on the end http://chemicalscream.net/wp-login.php site's not there, blank page.

   Completely the same with your blog:

   http://chemicalscream.net/about-2/ there and http://chemicalscream.net/about-2 unavailable. If you can use FTP, login to your site and rename .htaccess file to i.e. .htaccess.hold once this is done login as usual, go to your Settings > Permalinks and set new structure.

   If you don't have an FTP contact your hosting provider and ask them to help you with .htaccess file.

   Thanks, Emil. I tried that and it still gave me a blank screen. :(

   OK, let's try that again.

   Can you FTP to your server and open your .htaccess. To open the .htaccess you can use any plain text editor such as Notepad and see if your settings are like this:
   

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

   This is what my .htaccess says:

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