 * It’s as simple as that. I have read as much as I could here already, but don’t
   see what to do.
    I have three blogs based on the Atahualpa theme. PHP is 5.2.9
   MySQL version is 5.0.77-community What else do I need to know? What have I missed?
   Am I the only one? Quite possibly it has something to do with this error message:

   > htaccess file, ensure it is readable, referer: [http://alex-wilding.com/personalblog/wp-admin/post-new.php](http://alex-wilding.com/personalblog/wp-admin/post-new.php)
 * But now I am out of my depth – there is such a file at the specified place, and
   it is readable. More than that I cannot say!
 * Grateful for any pointers or specific help!
