 * Hi,
 * Everything is working fine except the commenting system.
 * When a usre does comment, a page is displayed showing Internal server error. 
   My website is [Google Tricks Blog](http://www.gtricks.com/).
 * On googleing, it looks like a culprit htaccess file, but it looks fine to me.
 * Here it is –
 *     ```

 * > On googleing, it looks like a culprit htaccess file, but it looks fine to me.
 * -one way to find it would be momentarily rename .htaccess via ftp and see if 
   that resolve the issue. If it does, it would indicate .htaccess could be the 
   problem; if it does not resolve the issue, it would indicate .htaccess could 
   be the problem.
 * -then try deactivating ALL plugins temporarily to narrow down and possibly fix
   the problem. If the problem goes away, activate them individually (one-by-one)
   to find the culprit.
 * -if no improvement, try switching to the default theme (“twentyten”) for a moment
   by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes. The idea is to 
   force WordPress to fall back to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific
   issue.
