Quick note on permalinks

One other tweak I made to my site this last week was to change the permalink format for posts, from http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2007/02/09/sample-post/ to the default Wordpress format http://jeffnolan.com/wp/?p=123. One side effect of doing this is that the links in my posts to other posts on my site no longer worked, and the search function (which I use a lot myself) returned an index of posts but the links wouldn’t work.

Well obviously that was a problem and my hope that Wordpress would be able to reconcile the link to whatever index of posts is maintained internally was not realized. I switched the permalink format back to the old format… like most things around here, it is a work in progress and I learn as I go.

Next up is figuring out what stylesheet and template tweaks I need to make so that I render better on IE7. I’m also curious to find out why I’m having a problem with image placement when I include a blockquote in a post.
