Permalinks
Posted in Idling on 06/19/2007 10:26 pm by foolhandyI’ve just spent 30 minutes or so trying to get my head around permalinks. I get them. Just. But it would seem that as my websites are all hosted on Windows servers (I currently need Front Page extensions for www.madison-house.co.uk, but I’m working on alternatives) I can’t change the permissions for the .htaccess file. If I can’t do that, it’ll just have to wait. Which is a shame. That may be an incorrect assumption of course, but it staggers me that it’s an incorrect assumption that I think I understand.
What it means in real terms is that the URL for the Support page of this site (for example) is http://www.foolhandy.com/?page_id=5 when it would obviously be much nicer if it were http://www.foolhandy.com/support.
I don’t feel at all out of my depth…
