   I probably don't know enough coding language to figure out most problems in WordPress. I just liked it because it worked. Since the 2.7 release, I have spent more time trying to fix my blog than adding content to my blog. I'm going to go back to version 2.6 and see if that helps.

   I feel like a caveman.

   when you get hacked from an insecure version, you will wish you hadn't gone back

   I know. I think I just need something that works for me right now until I have the time or money to pay someone to help me fix what is broken. I can't seem to find a file called .htaccess that is supposed to help me because I am on a 1 and 1 server.

   Ok, same problems in 2.6. My pages show up in my dashboard, but i get a 404 not found error when I try to view them in my browser. My index shows up fine. WTF?

   if you don't have an .htaccess - create one
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Creating_and_editing_.28.htaccess.29

   add this line to top to work with 1and1 hosting

   AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
   AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

   save and upload to where your wordpress install is

   Thanks Sam. I'm going to try it now. I appreciate your help.

   I suspect Permalinks.

   Does your .htaccess file still exist?

   I just tried to create it with a text editor. (Sorry if that is totally wrong)

   I uploaded it and renamed it. Now I get a 500 internal server error.

   To clarify: I have created a file named .htaccess and it is seemingly empty. Is there a place where I could cut and paste the appropriate text into it with my text editor? I am assuming that it should not be blank.

   Thanks.

    Your .htaccess should look like this:

    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
    AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

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

    # END WordPress

    If the php5 handle is not working for you then change it back to php4
    Making it read thus:

    AddType x-mapp-php4 .php
    AddHandler x-mapp-php4 .php

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

    # END WordPress

    At this pont your blog will only work if the current php version is higher than 4.1.3 - if not ask your host to upgrade you to the latest php4 version.
