 * Greetings and thank you for any help anyone might give:
 * Can anyone please answer this:
 * I have recently changed the permalink settings of a WordPress web site from the“
   standard” to the “pretty” format; I am wondering now what, if anything, I should
   do within Google Webmaster Tools:
 * 1) Request removal from Google’s index of those old URLS
    2) Nothing 3) Something
   else?
 * Thank you again for any help or feedback, even if the feedback is to tell me 
   that this question would have better been posted in Google Webmaster Tools forum

 * Option (2) – Nothing. WordPress will handle the old urls just fine in this case
   and Google will update its index shortly.
