The default URL’s for WordPress are … how do I say it … ugly. But, you can fix them. Simply go into the Admin area and select the URL type you want, OR create your own using variables.

I prefer to have some of the links on my site actually look like clean URLs. For example:
http://www.dominokeys.com/blog/helpcenter/faq/

Looks nice, doesn’t it? Since I always forget how to do set WordPress to do this AND I can never seem to come up with a search string that is straight forward, here’s how:

1. Create an .htaccess file in the root of the WordPress installation directory

2. Give the file “666″ permissions (via chmod, or your FTP program’s access settings) — or do what I do: open it up for full access “777″ until you’re done w/ the next step, then go back to the default

3. In the WordPress Admin area, go to the Permalinks section (Under “Options”) and press the “Update Permalink Structure” button. If you do it right, you’ll get a confirmation at the top. If not, you’ll get some kind of error with further instructions.

What does this have to do with Domino or a Mac? Not much. — Other than you have to manipulate Domino’s URLs too (unless you like typing in DocIDs).
