 * I am trying to do my first post on my website [http://69.195.124.223/~lacchath/](http://69.195.124.223/~lacchath/)
 * I wrote the post, inserted a picture at the top, selected the continue reading
   insert, and clicked publish. I got the message saying that it posted successfully,
   but when I go to look at the post, I get this error message: “Error 404. It seems
   like you have tried to open a page that doesn’t exist. It could have been deleted,
   moved, or it never existed at all. You are welcome to search for what you are
   looking for with the form below.”
 * No matter what I do, I keep getting this error message. I can’t post ANYTHING.
   I am getting extremely frustrated.

 * 404 indicates failure to communicate with the server.
    – it could be configuration
   issue – it could be memory issue – it could be permalinks issue, try reviewing
   this: [How to fix 404 error when using Pretty Permalinks?](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_fix_404_error_when_using_Pretty_Permalinks.3F)–
   it could be optimization issue – it could be a conflict with plugin: try [resetting the plugin folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)–
   it could be a conflict with theme: try switching to the default theme for a moment
   via FTP and see if that resolves the issue. – check for .htaccess file presence
   and check if the default wordpress mod-rewrite code is there or not. There are
   times when .htaccess file is not writeable or gotten deleted – Check the server
   error log for your hosting account. Ask your hosting provider for assistance 
   to locate them.

 * Well that is extremely complicated and I’m not sure what to do with all that.
   Is there any way to “start over,” like redo the whole blog somehow and start 
   fresh? One thing is for sure, I just paid $160+ dollars for this service and 
   if it doesn’t start working I’m getting a refund.
