 * I’m trying to copy my site from my hard drive to my hosting account.
 * So my host provides install through their control panel but when I do that its
   an older version and for some reason it won’t let me update it automatically.
   So I updated it manually. Then I installed my theme that I have designed on my
   local drive. It loads up fine. The theme works for the homepage but when click
   the default ABOUT page that comes with WP it gives me a 404. That goes for everything,
   the default blog post and new pages I create and try and view… What is going 
   on? Anyone deal with this before? I Wish I was better with server stuff but I’m
   not. HELP!

 * Go to the Settings > Permalinks and update the permalinks as you had them on 
   your local machine. This will reset the .htaccess file.
