CHAPTER 15 STARTING TO BLOG AND BUILDING (Yahoo web space)
CHAPTER 15 STARTING TO BLOG AND BUILDING YOUR COMMUNITY 429 pages. This is almost like giving your posts a second chance at being listed. The search engine sees a condensed view of your posts in each category. Generating Search-Engine-Friendly Permalinks WordPress allows you to generate permalinks (permanent URIs) on your blog, which appear as though each of your posts is an individual static page on your site, rather than the dynamic output of a database-driven web site. Instead of a URI to one of your stories looking like http:// example.com/?p=29, WordPress can use something like this link: http://example.com/card-games/how-to-win-at-poker/ Because this type of URI is already loaded with your keywords, it has an immediate advantage over the ?p=29version. It also is more readable to your human visitors. It s easier for them to remember the link or to read it out over the phone. To configure the structure of your permalink, from the administration pages, click Options, then Permalinks. The Edit Permalink Structure page allows you to configure the structure of your permalink URIs, as shown in Figure 15-25. Figure 15-25. Editing your permalink structure Choose a permalink structure that you feel comfortable with and that fits your blog. The suggestions made by WordPress work well, especially the following structure: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ If your site has mostly chronological entries, this format makes lots of sense. As a bonus, these URLs truncate, too, which means that someone visiting a URL containing just the year and month will receive all posts for that month.
