We’re having a little technical difficulty with The Phoenix Real Estate Guy right now…
For whatever reason, all of the “sub pages” (comments, categories, etc) are returning “Page Not Found” errors. The pages are there, I can seem them in the directories, I can access everything via the WordPress Admin panel, but visitors (at least me, so I assume everyone) can’t get to them.
I have no idea what I did… but I’ll figure it out. Eventually. I suspect it has something to do with me trying to upload forms for my main web site to the PREG.com server.
If anyone has a clue how to fix this, email me at jayATthompsonsrealtyDOTcom. I’d say to just leave a comment, but you can’t 
UPDATE: Thanks to “HandySolo” on the WordPress support forum, all is now well in Phoenix blogland. The blog appears to be fully functional again. For the geeks out there, here’s what happened…
When I uploaded some FrontPage forms to the blog server, it reset the permissions in the .htaccess file, which broke the WP permalinks. All I needed to do was change the .htaccess permissions to “666″ (why they chose that particular number is beyond me) which allowed WP to write something to that file that re-enabled permalinks, fixing the problem. I then reset the permissions to 644 (which, I think, keeps wanna-be hackers from jacking with it in the future) and all is well! THANKS HANDYSOLO!! (ya gotta love guys that just hang out in support forums helping people like me!) This was a panic inspiring experience…

And like my mechanic, a wannbe stand-up comedian once told me, “Well Jeff, seem like the heifer bolt as done come totally off the bull plate.”
You should feel lucky. I can’t even set mine up to brake it.
I’ve been meaning to repsond to your email Jeff. I’ll try to get to it tonight. Sorry, it’s just been crazy busy lately…
We need a Wordpress blog!!!
Thanks

around” in the coming months and years 2008, 2009?
