 * I am wondering if I can change my permalinks even though I have about 60 pages
   on my WP site? They are currently set to the ID number, but I would like them
   to be set for %postname% for SEO purposed. I tried and then none of the pages
   except for the index page could be found.
 * If I can change the permalinks, will this ruin what back linking I have done 
   through article directories, forum posts, and blog comments?
 * Thank you for any help you can offer me.
