 * I’m new to WP, so this might be a stupid question.
    I’ve recently installed my
   blog, and the skin Blix. In the skins read me-file, there was a guide how to 
   create pages. I followed it and created some new pages. The pages are all listed
   in the admin panel, and they were also added to the menu. But when I click on
   them I get a 404 Not Found error. What am I doing wrong? My blog can be found
   [here](http://blog.toobigtofitinhere.com).

 * My guess is that you have not yet set up [permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks).

 * You don’t happen to know how I am supposed to set them up to get it work correctly?

 * All your questions should be answered in the [Using_Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks)
   document, to which I linked above.
 * If you still have questions after reading that document, please tell us what 
   you tried, and how it didn’t work.

 * Yes, I understand the basic idea of the permalink structure, and right now I’m
   using the recommended one (/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/). I understand
   how that makes the path to specific posts, but I don’t understand what happens
   to the path to pages.
    In the navigation bar, the url to my pages are toobigtofitinhere.
   com/page, but the “real” url is, as you said, /index.php/page. What do I change
   in my admin panel so the links work?

 * It looks like you have not correctly made your .htaccess file, as the links to
   your categories look like this:
    [http://blog.toobigtofitinhere.com/archives/%post_id%/school/](http://blog.toobigtofitinhere.com/archives/%post_id%/school/)
   [http://blog.toobigtofitinhere.com/archives/%post_id%/tv/](http://blog.toobigtofitinhere.com/archives/%post_id%/tv/)
 * Do you have a .htaccess file in the root of your WordPress directory?
 * When creating a permalink structure at Options -> Permalinks, WordPress should
   automatically create rules for your pages, as well. Once you get the .htaccess
   file created, everything should “just work.” Please fix the .htaccess problem,
   and then let us know what other problems may exist.

 * Ah, that’s right. I hadn’t updated the .htaccess file! I forgot that I had to
   do that manually.
    Everything seems to work now. 🙂
 * Thank you so much for all your help!
