 * Please can anyone help? I seem to have some sort of bug in my permalinks. Whilst
   the main blog page will display, all internal links within the page, such as 
   categories and archives are brocken, they divert to 404 error.
 * I’ve tried to find a solution in the WP forums and it seems I need to make changes
   to my permalinks, however, if I access the permalinks area of the admin pages,
   the whole blog, even the main page goes to 404 error and I have to re-upload 
   it to get the main page to work again, this however does not fix the links.
 * With the permalink section of the admin pages, I literally just go in there, 
   I don’t even need to change anything and the problem occurs.
 * Any help would be much appreciated.

 * You’re using pretty permalinks. This will sound odd but try going into the permalinks
   section in your admin and click save. It’s worked for me before when I had the
   same problem. Not sure why but who cares if it works.

 * Thanks for your help, but it didn’t work. What happens now, is that because I
   have been into permalinks within settings, the whole blog falls over. The error
   message you see now is 403 Index page not found. I can reload the blog and the
   index page will be back, but the links will still not work.

 * I’ve solved the problem myself, the .htaccess permissions were not set correctly.
