 * I have just migrated my blog to a new server. I did this by exporting the MySQL
   database from the old server and importing it to the new. I then copied the entire
   wordpress directory to the new server. The DNS change has now resolved completely.
   Hoewever, although I can see the home page, when I try to go to a particular 
   blog post I get Page Not Found error.
    I am a bit lost on this. Might it have
   something to do with permissions? If anyone can give me some guidance I would
   appreciate it.

 * Yes. I went to default then back to a seo friendly structure. Also I discovered
   my htaccess file was in the wrong place. All works perfectly now. Many thanks
   for your response.
