Have you ever seen a url like this? http://www.example.com/?p=208 Of course you have, not pretty. So what do do? Customize Permalink Structure AKA Pretty urls. You do this by creating a .htaccess file on your sserver. Then if it is writable Wordpress will take care of the rest itself. Otherwise it will give you a bit of code in insert in the .htaccess file. You are set with beautiful pretty url’s. What do do if you don’t have or can’t use .htaccess files on your server? Simple, In the Wordpress admin Go to: Options -> Permalinks Then add “index.php/” to the beginning of your custom permalink string. Guest Editor - Matt Herzberger
