 * Hey everyone,
 * I am kinda in panic mode. I accidently deleteed my .htaccess file! and now all
   of my sub directories are showing 404 pages. before I begin to write a new one,
   can anyone point me to a good example of one that works well with WP?

 * You don’t have to write one.
    Upload an empty file named .htaccess and make it
   writeable (chmod=666). Then resave your permalinks – WP will write it.

 * But I can’t access WP’s admin because wp-login.php brings up a 404 page.

 * Is it the blog linked to your profile? That one works.

 * No, this is a clients blog….but fear not! You are right after I changed the CMOD
   on the htaccess file I was able to access the wp-login and it appears that everthing
   is working fine now. Thank you very much!
