 * I could scream. I have been at this for 2 days now, still no luck. Half my head
   is gray now…
 * I recently changed my already “custom” permalink to another version of a “custom”
   permalink. I failed to write down nor remember my previous permalink. All of 
   my posts are coming up as 404 errors when searching from google. You can search
   through my blog just fine from the direct URL. I searched and searched and was
   told to go back to default permalink and then go to host center (go daddy) and
   set 404 redirects to home page, which I have done. (as a temporary fix) I checked
   the .htaccess file when I added the custom permalink and everything was writing
   correctly. I waited 3 hours and still nothing was working. I am just curious 
   if I am doomed, will people ever be able to see my archived posts again lol. 
   I mean I do not want these ugly permalinks forever, and even with the permalinks
   set as default, my posts from google are still redirecting people to my homepage…
   I tried disabling plugins, I even changed from windows host to linux..still nothing
   is working. I have read SO many “fixes” by way of google but none have helped
   me. Please someone help! =)
