Caution: Turning Off Hotlink Protection in CPanel Breaks Your Wordpress Permalinks!
my CPanel and toggled it off and on... unfortunately doing
that broke the permalinks in all of my Wordpress blogs
The main page of each blog was fine, but when I went to
look at the individual posts they were gone!
Apparently a line in .htaccess got removed when I was
messing around. Fortunately the technician at HostGator
got me up and running in just a few minutes.
The moral of the story: be careful screwing around with
things just because you're curious!

EDIT: I just discovered this also messed up some of my
redirects. *sigh*
