Should I change my permalinks?

    I have a blog using Wordpress related to the flash games industry, you can check it out in my signature. My issue is this, I set it up to have numbers in the url rather than be more SEO friendly and use the title and what not. I've written over 30 posts that have been submitted to other sites, such as flashgameblogs.com and other places. If I change my permalink, will this mess up all the backlinks via sites that go through my RSS? or was this thought of and the sites will be updated with the proper links? Thanks for any information on this.

    If the backlinks are via rss feeds they will be updated.

    Awesome, thanks for the quick reply, I'll go change that up now then. For the few links I have laying around the net to specific articles (links within articles, blog posts on other's blogs) I can just use the google web master tools to find them and correct them, won't take too long.

    Yup ..
    I also want to add that even if you had submitted the old permalinks it will still work it will just cause a 301 redirect to the current permalink
    That's the beauty of wordpress :)
