 * Hey,
    After lots of reading and changing stuff I still haven’t got anywhere.
 * Basically i’m trying to change my permalinks to:
 * /%post_id%
 * But, I get the old:
 * If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it 
   isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file.
   Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all.
 * <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.
   php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule>
 * My wordpress files are located in:
 * root/blog/etc
    And my site points to the blog folder.
 * I have a .htaccess file in my root, so I made a dublicate of that and put it 
   into the blog folder and added the given code below everything else thats in 
   there.
 * But, I doesnt work still, the permissions of it are 666 if that helps? Am I doing
   something stupid here?
