edited .htaccess, broke my Web site

    I’m running WordPress 3.0 on a Web site maintained through Webhostingpad.com.

    In an attempt to increase my upload limit, I entered some text in my .htaccess file (max_upload_x mb). I saved the file and immediately Wodpress looked different, with no background images.

    My Web site changed, too, with no theme visible, just text on a white background. I attempted to fix the .htaccess file by using the back button on my broswer, reverting it and saving the changes. That didn’t work. Now, in addition to the Web site looking horrible, I can’t log into my WordPress account as an admin through the site.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Do I need to reinstall wordpress?

    It was something like this:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    My web hosting company was able to revert my Web site to a previous version before I mucked it up.
