This has plagued mankind for centuries and forced wordpress users to default to the default setting in the Permalinks structure.
Okay maybe not for centuries and maybe just me (as far as I know) but anyhow here is the solution
I would say though before you are doing any of this to contact your web hoster first with the issue as link mine (Dream Hosting) they did it for me (they are fantastic although which is probably why I never learned!).
Also make sure you are running the latest version of PHP.
With Google I/O 2011 just two days behind us, we wanted to thank the nearly 1 million developers who joined us at Moscone Center, attended I/O Extended events and watched online via I/O Live from 161 countries around the world.

Just a short mention to a great online tool I found at http://www.flippingtypical.com that allows you to preview your system fonts for when you need to match something exactly right for your site or documents. Seems like the days are long gone of cycling through Photoshop’s library or previewing it in Word!
Just type in the text and click any font you like the look of to get a bigger preview.
There is even some basic formatting like BOLD, Italic and
underline
If you fancy making your own, you can download the script from here: http://www.lalit.org/lab/javascript-css-font-detect
It is a very clever tool that allows you to associate an image such as a picture of you and associate it with an email address. This is very useful especially getting your posts and comments noticed in blogs etc. and beats the hell out of those pointless yellow smiley avatars or even the Yahoo 360 (which even the guys seems to be female?!).
Signup is easy and when you upload an image you are also able to crop it and give it a rating certification. This is to allow some people that have slightly shall we say ‘riskay’ avatar images not to show on a Fisher Price Forum for example. This of course is subject to abuse and has been criticized heavily by other bloggers and users. Personally, I like that it asks the moral question to do the right thing and rate your image how you see it. Maybe I am naive but I don’t believe someone would knowingly abuse this free tool knowing that in all likelihood they will be taken down after a few hours.
