    Hi. I am not sure how to deal with Permalinks.
    I have an old html site which is very strong in Google.
    All the pages end in .html and some pages are within folders within folders.
    eg: http://www.otwaysaccommodation.com.au/cape-otway-accommodation/cape_otway_accommodation.html
    You will also notice that part of this url has underscores.
    How can I retain the same structure of the url in a WP site?
    Thanks. Mark.

    Well, this can be done by using .htaccess.

    But I would suggest you copying all "old" content to WP and redirecting old URLs to new ones (also via .htaccess).

    I have never dealt with .htaccess. Don't really know what it is. How do I do this??
