 * Thanks, Shane. So to spell it out for me, the non-coder:
 * I create a text file and name it “.htaccess”
 * I add what code/rules to it?
 * I thought that unix numbered permissions like 644 are only for folders, (someone
   one another thread said this) is that not true?
 * Your patience and help is much appreciated.

 * I had the same problem, and changing back to the default permalinks and changed
   my Unix permissions for those folders from 755 to 777 seemed to work.
 * But does anyone know how I can get the permalinks I want? When I made the changed,
   I got a message that said I should go ‘update the .htaccess file” but I have 
   no idea what that is, or where I could get it. I did a search for .htaccess and
   went ahead and changed the permissions of the folders for the 4 files that referenced
   it, but no luck.
    ** Can any of you gorgeous, brilliant people tell me explicitly
   how to update .htaccess?
