…Permalinks

I almost forgot and that isn’t good.

Permalinks in wordpress are how the links look for the pages in your blog.  I have it set so that a link looks like

http://www.pcscribbles.com/2008/05/oops-important-wordpress-plugin-all-in-one-seo-pack/

rather than

http://www.pcscribbles.com/?p=10

So, more keywords on the page for the search engines to crawl and, generally, looks better (I think).

The permalinks (found in settings) need to be set once and then left – changing it in the future can cause there to be copies of your pages giving you duplicate content problems – you don’t want that!  I put a dot in the “Month and Name” option – but you can be fancier if you like.
