WordPress Permalinks, Feeds and Subscriptions
Some issues that can help others notice your blog
In this article, Linda tackles some issues that can help others notice your blog through the use of Permalinks, feed and subscriptions.
Conclusion
Permalinks are an important part of stating who you are and what you are writing when you begin to build your blog. Use them wisely in the beginning, as they can be difficult to change down the road. Once Google and other search engines pick upon your blog entries, you don't want to change them. The best you can do in an emergency is use a redirect from that previous URL (see the list below).
