 * Could someone please help me with this 404 error? Just click on the post title
   to see it. My permalink structure and .htaccess file look correct, I am going
   back through my file permissions right now, any suggestions?

 * Try replacing /uncategorized/ with /archives/ . Also, if it isn’t, the .htaccess
   file should be in the same directory as the rest of your WordPress files. If 
   that doesn’t work, try adding /index.php/ to the beginning of your permalinks.

 * Now there is a 500 internal server error. You sure you have uploaded the .htaccess
   in ASCII mode with proper permissions.

 * And those “proper permissions” would be 644.

 * You guys are fast I am following both suggestions. While trying to fix the 404
   and I accidentally created the 500. Whew! I’ll get it straight, thanks for your
   help…

 * Your suggestions worked! I changed the /uncategorized/ which was /%categories%/”
   to /archives/ , created the new .htaccess uploaded in ASCII and set the permission
   to 644.
 * Thanks macmanx and adeydas. I can see my post pages now.

 * Thanks to your help. That is the second time you have saved the day. I’ll try
   to be more self reliant in the future.
