There's something wrong with my blog! I need help!

Dear Fellow Marketers,

I am currently facing a technical issue with my blog and I need help. Besides my Home page, all my individual blog posts show an Error 404 message. I've checked with my web host and they say it's the database issue and I need to contact Wordpress to resolve this. Can some Wordpress expert help me out here? PM me and let me know your fees. I appreciate your help very much.

Cheers~

Mark

    Have you checked the error logs on your server? There could be a lot of reasons for a 404. Did your database get wiped?

    Back that stuff up regularly. Set up a cron job to do it automatically if your host doesn't already do that -- which they should.

      I wonder if it could be a permalink problem? Did you change the permalink structure? If you did, try changing back to the default settings. If that fixes it, then you need to edit your .htaccess file to make the other permalinks work properly.

        Hmmm... I've not changed my permalink structure. But I think I better double check. Thanks so much!

          Did you change something? If it's the site in your signature - it's working ok for me.

          Hey Mark,

          My elance profile is in my sig I think, I'll take a look for free and then if it's anything simple I'll sort it on the spot. Can't PM so hit me up via my blog or twitter @danielmcclure for my email.

          EDIT: Yeah looks like you've resolved your issue just re-visited and it's fine. Feel free to contact me anytime. Stuff like that can usually be resolved same day and for other Wordpress jobs I'll give an estimate at the time.

          Good Luck!

      Thank you very much for your advice. But I'd prefer to pay someone to handle it for me than spend my time learning about the technical stuff. I've decided to outsource all technical issues in order to spend my time more productively.

      So if anyone can help, please PM me. Thanks!

      Cheers~
