Best URL structure for a Wordpress blog?

Why can't you change it now? I thought you were always able to change the URL structure

 

ringwraith as far as two links with the same title is concerned are you saying that you can get more links?? lol

 

aaa? No. I'm just saying you won't get up having two posts with the same title (and thus the same link) on your blog

I can change the URL structure of course, but all the links poiting towards my site will become useless, as the destinations won't be there anymore..

 

I prefer first one. no need to make longer urls if it is not necessary

 

I personally feel that http://www.mysite.com/2007/some-interesting-article.htm would be better. However, I have observed that many people have successfully used % sign .

 

ringwraith Tanks that was informal lol

 

you can change your URL structure and keep all your inbound links etc. Simply setup a 301 redirect in your .htaccess file. That's what I did, workes perfectly!

Example:

I Had a previous link structure of: http://www.noddegamra.co.uk/xbox360-nat_settings.htm

301 redirect now automatically points it to: http://www.noddegamra.co.uk/problems-with-xbox-360-live-nat-settings/3/

All without losing any PR etc. It simply tells the search engine your page is at a new location. Simple

 

Noddegamra as a blog mark up do you prefer Technorati over Delicious and DIGG or doest it matter??

 

Technorati is great for getting stats about a blog. Who likes it, who is linking to you, etc.

Digg and Del.icio.us are different. They are used more for finding great things (hopefully your site). Out of these 2 I prefer digg. It brings me more traffic and I prefer the interface. It's just a nicer experience to use than del.icio.us

Does that answer your question, or were you wondering about a different aspect of those sites?

 

new here...
wat's an URL structure???

 

I use postname as it provides the easiest to remember direct URL %postname%. If you have 2 posts with the same it just renames the post slug to %postname%2 so that's no big deal.

In reality you are unlikely to have duplicate post titles anyway.

 

I think Its better Structure ..... More here

 

I use mysite.com/category/page-name.htm - that way it benefits from the URL, category word and page name all in one.

 

Thanks Noddegamra
appreciate the confo on social book mark sites
