    Edit: I REALLY need help! lol I finally get it that the plugin is already in my WordPress administration, and that it seems like all it does is make the permalink not have a bunch of numbers, makes it pretty, like I see that the name is.

    What I need is a whole other ballgame. Can you help?

    Original Post begins:

    I was about to try to paste the Yahoo Permanlink plugin into my folder in my control panel and decided I would come ask for advice first. (I am pretty clueless)

    Please help!

    The deal is that I blog for PayPerPost and after they implemented Real Rank only my main blog was able to be monitored for RR. I have 4 other blogs in the system that I can't take any assignments on because they have no real rank. The reason they don't is that the URLs are all the same as the first blog, except that the other 4 have "blog1, blog2, etc., at the end of their address.

    SO, what I did was to create subdomains for each of the four, reversing the address from internetmarketingreview.org/blog1 to blog1.internetmarketingreview. org

    Now you can see my blogs at the addresses. I was really happy, that is until I realized that the permalinks won't work! :rolleyes: Of course they won't. I think somewhere I am missing a step, I have been researching this for a couple of hours and I believe I need to move some files, but I am afraid of screwing things up. (I am trying to do this all by myself, it's hard when you don't understand how it all works, but I am catching on, and it is REALLY hard! lol

    I went to the Wordpress forum and found a permalink plugin from Yahoo, but I don't know if installing that will solve my problem. I have a pretty good idea that no, it won't.

    Can someone who knows tell me, step by step, what I need to do?
