    Thanks to everyone here for getting me up and running, my blog is working across all browsers now. Here’s the new problem, and there have been several posts about it, but none explained what to do in this case:

    I realized after doing the standard Yahoo install of WP that my blog was located at http://www.leftcoastlifestyle.com/blog and I wanted it at the root. I followed the instructions to move it to the root, and everything is there, but of course, when I click on a post permalink, I get a page not found. I can’t find the .htaccess file but I know I can modify it from the WP control panel, I have no idea what to do to get my permalinks rebuilt or whatever I need to do to get them to work.

    Appreciate your help in advance…

    Go to Options/Permalinks, make sure that the structure is still set to what you want it to be, and click the “Update Permalink Structure” button.

    Did it, still no good. Okay, I’m using the custom permalink structure:
    /%category%/%postname%/

    my WordPress address and blog address are both set to:
    http://www.leftcoastlifestyle.com

    and when I click on one of my post permalinks it goes to (one example):
    http://www.leftcoastlifestyle.com/books/i-hope-you-are-all-happy-now/

    Which looks right to me, but no matter what, it’s a 404 page.

    I have customizable permalinks enabled, and it worked fine until I moved it to the root. Thanks for your help…

    The /%category%/ tag only works properly under Apache 2. Does your hosting provider use Apache 2? If not, try this structure:

    /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

    If its Yahoo I believe you may have to add /index.php/ before the permalink.

    It wasn’t Yahoo – it was something I did wrong. I copied my stuff off of FTP, wiped out my account and reinstalled and everything works like a charm now. Thank you…
