 * My blog server runs Apache with all standard modules, including mod_rewrite.
 * So all I have to do to implement “pretty permalinks” is check “Custom Structure”
   under Permalink Settings/Custom Settings, fill in something like
 * [http://www.myblogname.com/%category%/%postname%/](http://www.myblogname.com/%category%/%postname%/)
 * and I’m done? Is that right?
 * Thanks! (I’m using 2.7)

 * no – do not use that structure
    never put a url in permalink structure
 * review this
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Choosing_your_permalink_structure](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Choosing_your_permalink_structure)
 * looking at your above example put
    `/%category%/%postname%/` in custom structure
 * look at the url I provided, however. For performance reasons you may not want
   to start with `%category%`
