the funny thing is that i do not get any error. i just get a blank page.
http://www.pollbotsurvey.com/Beauty/?p=1
i do not exactly know what you mean by cutting and pasting, but i have not been doing that, at all.
i have changed the default theme by the classic theme and did not work either.
i have read the forum but i cannot find anything that gives me a lead to solve this problem. even if i add a new post, it would not show up (same as above=blank)
need ideas…

permalinks: custome structure –> /%postname%/
Hmmm. What does your .htaccess file contain?
I’m getting a redirect loop y’see.

this is what it has:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /Beauty/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /Beauty/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
this is foreign language to me.
thanks for your time
Oh ok.
On Settings > General, what have you got as the WordPress address and the Blog address? I think that’s the bit that’s possibly wrong.

I don’t know what your issue is but what the guy meant by copy and paste is by copying the content, either you wrote it up on work or even off of a different site and then you paste it into the edit area of your new post.
I don’t know if this is your problem but I did experience what you are awhile back. Try to view your website on a different browser, firefox shows stuff that Internet Explorer cannot. OR and easy way to fix what I’m talking about it to go to the edit area of the post and select the HTML view and see if any really weird encoding is there.
I was copy pasting from microsoft word 2007 and it was adding a weird AJAX coding or something like that. It made all my pages blank in IE but they would show up normal in FF.
Oh I forgot how to tell you how to fix it if you are getting weird code.
Simply stay in Html mode and then paste the text again. No code will be added.

Markthedude,
thanks for your suggestion.
unfortunately i am not getting anywhere. i tried in IE, firefox, chrome but somehow nothing is showing up, not even the pages which makes me think if this have to do with the database for the blog? what do you think?
any suggestions?
If it was a database issue you wouldn’t even be able to view your site, you would have a big ERORR ESTABLISHING DATABASE when you try to load your site.
However I have had weird things happen with wordpress.
To see if your database is right open up your config.php file in notepad, I use adobe dreamweaver but not everyone has it.
Use a Ftp client to get to your file, right click on the file and select view>edit.
Look at the names that are setup for the username, database and password.
Now, go into your Cpanel, I use hostgator so this part may be different for you.
But I goto MySql Databases and it shows me the databases and user names. It will not show you the password but if the other 2 are not matching make a new user, new database, add the user to the database. edit the config.php file with the username, password, and database name. Re-upload just that file and see if that does it for you.
Do this with caution though! If this is not the issue and you miss type something your site will go down until you get everything straightened out. If you don’t know what you are doing better to ask questions and do things slowly.
Ok I just checked out your site again, when I try to load a page it doesn’t work as you know, but at the end of the url there is/php.install.
I’m going to try something real quick and post back.
