 * I have been having a pretty consistent problem with 404 errors on my blog.
 * My problem is a random thing. Say I click the link to edit pages or to edit a
   post, instead of it going to the link or doing what is requested, it will take
   me to a WordPress 404 page. If I hit refresh or hit the back button to try to
   redo my last step, it may take me to the correct page that time.
 * For some reason, my WordPress is throwing random 404 errors for pages that do
   exist. It gets very annoying when I press Publish to post a blog post and I get
   taken to a 404 page and have to hit back and redo what wasn’t autosaved (now 
   I just copy and paste before I hit anything because I can’t be sure it will do
   what I ask it to do).
 * Has anyone else had this happen and managed to fix it?
