To All My Special Blokesters: Happy New Year 2009!
January 1st, 2009
Well we made it to another new year and may 2009 be better than the last one! Do I hear an amen to that?
This is just a quicky post to wish all my Blokesters a very special Happy New Year. I plan to write a compilation of last year’s trials and tribulations which should go up soon. But right now I gotta grab all those last minute holiday specials, including possibly a new blog host.
See you soon…

Happy New Year to you as well, Bloke. And to start the New Year off right, I have a question for you. When I set up my WordPress blog, I left the permalink option set to the default format of http://www.tarheelramblings.com/?p=123. What are the implications of going to a different format? Will all of my previous links be broken, or does the new format take effect only on posts and pages published after the change?

Thanks Lee and the same to you and your family.
Yes, changing your link structure will break links. But if you are going to change it then I recommend doing 2 things:
1. Change your custom permalink structure to /%postname%/ .
2. Use a plugin like one of these for Wordpress.
http://www.deanlee.cn/wordpress/permalinks-migration-plugin/
http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/
They promise to change your permalink structure without breaking the old links to your website and not affect your search engine rankings either with a “301″ Permanent Redirect.
I haven’t tried any of these personally so use at your own risk.
If you don’t like it you can revert back to your current permalink structure again.

Hi Lee and Bloke ! Happy New Year !
I saw Lee’s question about changing the permalinks. Just to let you know that with my hosting provider, I got troubles doing so.
Few weeks ago I changed the permalinks with Wordpress standard feature (1), and I got an error : file not found on all articles. Oops !
It was due to an automatically generated file, .htacess, located at the root of the site. And this file content was not compatible with my hosting system. I had to delete the file to keep the blog back on tracks (and with the pretty permalinks).
