 * I currently have the permalink structure of /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
 * I would like to change it to /tag/postname
 * when I change it to /%tag%/%postname%/ it gives me an error.
 * Also, what would I need to put in my .htaccess file to redirect any links?

 * You may find some good tips in this article for using custom, or pretty permalinks,
   as well as information on how to let WordPress update .htaccess for you when 
   you make the change. There is a section on structure tags in there too.
