 * I have chosen to change the archiving format from the default (/?post=2) to the
   time/topic format (/2006/15/10/example-post). But when I click on the post in
   the main page, it gives me a 404 page. I kow this will correct itself on future
   posts, but not on the last couple (I just started my blog so I only have 2 posts).
   Obviously I need to change ow that links up, but I cannmot find the page in the
   WordPress editor or in any of the files in my server. Sorry for the newb ignorance;
   I’m sure I’ll slap my forehead when given the solution.

 * Check out the troubleshooting stuff on the [Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Permalinks)
   pages.
 * In particular, contact your host and ensure that mod_rewrite and AllowOverride
   are properly configured and enabled.

 * I should have posted more info in the original post. I did adjust my Permalink
   setting; however, when I clicked the header to go to the particular article …/
   year/mo/day/article, it went to a 404 page since it was still linked to a …/p
   =x page. My host did have to adjust the mod file to allow me to change it site
   wide. Now it works. Thanks for help.
