I was finally able to get “Pretty Permalinks” to work on both of my blogs. I had to get my host support on board. Apparenty I did not have a .htaccess file in the root directory of each of my sites. They added it and I was able to modify theme with the code that WordPress generates when the Apache mod is not present on your server. Once that was done I now have nice, neat permalinks.

Why So Important?

Permalinks on a blog are important especially the pretty type. They lend themselves to a more professional look on your site as well as if someone links to your post they seem to track better with search engines.
