I've been trying to set up a new installation of elgg on www.writingmate.com. I finally got the site to load., but it looks like the css or theme portion of the site is not found. I was hoping someone could take a look at this and recommend what I need to change to get the theme to function.
Thanks in advance,
Kerry

Try changing:
RewriteRule ^([0-9\-]+)\.css$ _templates/css.php?template=$1
for:
RewriteRule ^_templates\/css\/([A-Za-z0-9_]+)$ _templates/css.php?template=$1
in your htaccess file.
Diego,
Thanks for your advice. I replace .htaccess per your new code and am getting no change in the results. So, it must be something else. I copied my .htaccess file. Maybe you see something else to suggest.
Thanks, Kerry

Seems odd error:
http://www.writingmate.com/_templates/css/Default_Template
Good Point, that is funky. I replaced all the files in the template directories and still the same results. Know, I'm thinking perhaps it is some kind of access problem.
Thanks for your time and review of the problem. I'm anxious to get elgg up and running, in order to then customize a new theme. Any further suggestions are appreciated.

This line is wrong!
RewriteRule ^([0-9\-]+)\.css$ _templates/css.php?template=$1
The templates it's ok, see:
http://www.writingmate.com/_templates/css.php?template=Default_Tem
There is some issue with your rewrites rules. Try this line instead the above rewriterule:
RewriteRule ^_templates/css/(.+)$ _templates/css.php?template=$1
