 * I’ve copied the .htaccess information from the permalinks to an .htaccess file
   and moved it to the root directory of the site, but after I’ve done that, I can’t
   do anything. Anything I try to access on the site – the wordpress blog, the wordpress
   admin, even unrelated html pages – isn’t returned, and I get this message:
 * Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration
   and was unable to complete your request.
 * Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?

 * Ignore me. I need to keep my grubby little mitts away from the support forums
   and do a little more legwork myself first. It’s working now. Really sorry to 
   waste your time.
