 * Hi. I changed my permalink structure in my admin panel under options. I used:
 * `/%monthnum%/%day%/%year%/%postname%/`
 * and now the comments, archives and categories go to my 404 page. Any ideas? Thanks.

 * When you change it, does it mention anything about needing to update your .htaccess
   file? You may need to do that. When I changed permalinks, it says my .htaccess
   file was not writable and that I should update it. It gave me a code to put in
   it. I had to create a file called .htaccess, paste the code in and then put it
   in my root blog directory. If you search things like permalinks and .htaccess
   you’ll find stuff about this.
