  Hi,

  I set up a new blog (http://jepstone.wordpress.com/) and many of the links, such as http://jepstone.wordpress.com/tag/mac/, go to a 404 (under my current theme, a “Doh”) page. Is there a switch I need to flip somewhere to get these links working, or is there something wrong with my blog?

  Thanks,

  Brian

  Sorry ’bout that. You should be all better now. That was short-lived problem with new blogs that you were unlucky enough to hit.

  Thanks! I ended up going with Yahoo’s WordPress hosting, since I liked WordPress a lot despite that little glitch. I had lots of fun moving my host name and blosxom entries, which you can read about here: http://jepstone.net/blog/?p=501

  This is still a problem. I have tried three times to set up a blog today and the comments and archive pages all result in a 404.

  Same here – 404 on the comments. Haven’t checked the other links. (I created the blog yesterday)

  My pages and comments are okay, but the new page I’ve been trying to add keeps giving me the 404 message. It’s been doing it for a few days, and deleting the page and creating a new one isn’t working either.

  404 on category, month, and post permalinks. Do I have to set up .htaccess manually?
