Where are my posts?

Hi, I’ve been struggling with something for the past few days and looked into the Help and Installation sections as well and I am still not sure what I’ve done wrong.

I have a Blogger FTP blog hosted on my own domain (http://discountsvu/blog/index.html) that I wish to move to WordPress (and continue to host on my own domain).
1. I have installed WordPress using Fantastico on my server on a new folder /blog2 (so as not to affect my existing blog while the setup is being done).
2. Logged in to discountsvu.com/blog/wp-admin and imported all posts from Blogger.
3. I can see all my posts (published status) in the Posts section. I can now see my blog http://discountsvu.com/blog2
4. However, none of the individual blog pages work. I get a 404 return error for it. For example, this works while this doesn’t.

(I have made some changes to Permalinks to remove the date, and to add a .html at the end – to keep the Blogger URLs intact.)

Should I be uploading/publishing the files to the webserver or smth? Please advise what I am missing here. Where are my post pages?

actually none of your links work – archives, categories or pages

post your permalink structure – something is whacked :>)

I have set the Permalinks as custom structure and this is the actual setting – /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html

And.. I just realized that I didn’t update the following code in the .htaccess file. Is that the problem?
```
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog2/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog2/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
```

likely so
if all else fails delete the .htaccess in wordpress root and generate the permalinks again
admin – settings – permalinks

Hi, I think I may have the same problem:

move from blogger to wordoress my old posts like
http://www.toocutemagazine.com/2009/04/how-to-wear-boyfriend-jeans.html

gives a 404 page –

but if i get rid of the .html at the end it works –
http://www.toocutemagazine.com/2009/04/how-to-wear-boyfriend-jeans

but http://www.toocutemagazine.com/2009/04/how-to-wear-boyfriend-jeans.html is being referenced on google search results – but it takes people to a 404 page.

can someone help me figure out why this might be?

thanks so much!
