If this isn’t a case of RTFM, then I don’t know what is. I set up my friends blog back in October using WordPress and wanted to enable pretty URLs. Unfortunatly, he chose Yahoo! as his host and they don’t allow access to the .htacess file. I thought there was no way to do it since I couldn’t use mod_rewrite. However, if I had just read the whole permalink article on the WordPress Codex, I would have realized that I could have “almost pretty” URLs by just adding “index.php” in front of the structure and let WordPress use a little PATHINFO magic.

    I think I need to post more just to get that creepy picture of myself off the home page.

    Considering your home page still has a post from October on it, I’d say your ugly mug is going to be there for a while.
