Configuring WordPress Settings: Permalinks
This video is a continuation in a series of videos detailing each of the WordPress Settings pages. This video will focus on Permalink Settings.
Permalink Settings allow you to define the link structure that WordPress generates for each of your post. Permalinks are one of the few areas where the WordPress default settings are highly undesirable. One of the firs things you’ll want to do after setting up your WordPress blog is to modify your permalinks.
This video will show you how to easily setup human-friendly permalinks that should also perform well with most search engines.
