thanks LaughingLizard; the .htaccess file isn’t listed in my ws-ftp window after i re-uploaded it to my server – so anything more you can tell me about .htaccess would be helpful.
WS-Ftp probably has an option that allows you to view ‘hidden files’. (I don’t use ws-ftp, but that’s a common option.) You might try to find that first.

i uploaded “example.htaccess” then re-named it “.htaccess” (after which it disappeared from the ws-ftp window) and still get this error:
File does not exist: /home/be4dean/public_html/403.shtml
Could this be a chmod issue? or the content of the .htaccess file, which is:
# this will make register globals off in b2’s directory
# just put a ‘#’ sign before these three lines if you don’t want that
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_flag register_globals off
</IfModule>
# this will set the error_reporting level to remove ‘Notices’
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_value error_reporting 247
</IfModule>
# This activates content negotiation, so instead of /archives.php you could just call
# a file as /archives . Same for any other file on your site. Try it out!

I’m sure I didn’t alter htaccess in the first place, how else could something happen in this area?

Just noticed that the December calendar still shows – maybe there’s a problem elsewhere?
Give us a URL or something to go on. I am totally confused…LOL 😛
The calendar shows the last month with any posts in it.
To me, the important information above in the error message is this:
“File does not exist: /home/be4dean/public_html/403.shtml”
It seems you are being tossed a 403 FORBIDDEN warning, but you have no actual 403.shtml file for the system to display to the person browsing.
Perhaps you have a CHMOD issue with a folder and/or files and don’t have the correct permissions assigned?
Just my guess.
Craig.
