Craig I fixed it! I’m so happy to get things going – you won’t believe it but one little slash did the trick – I guess you might believe it if you do coding…

I’m posting this here so someone else might benefit: so the problem was that
1. the post titles in the “recent posts” and the post titles themselves were sent to a HTTP404 which meant the exerpt wasn’ t expanding,
and the posts couldn’t even be read…

2. the category titles in the sidebar were lining up the posts they connected to but not expanding them…

I went to the WP forum and found a recent post about category problems after upgrading from 2.7 to 2.7.1 – one answer suggested to check the permalink, so I checked the permalink in my blog and…ta da…

the custom /%category%/%postname%.php that I inserted yesterday following Craig’s excellent guide was missing the / between the 2 % in the middle, my mistake… my excuse being that the font is very small in that WP line.

That missing little slash kept everything frozen in place… I’m amazed!

I can go back to posting now!

If you just think for a moment, it’s better than jumping into your blog’s admin and changing stuff at random which in most cases, just makes things worst for you.
