 * when I change my permalink setting to anything but “default”, it shuts down my
   ability to work withing my wordpress admin area. It literally takes 3 to 5 minutes
   to change from one click to another. All areas. No exception.
 * Default permalink, no problem.
 * I have to have a permalink that includes the name of my post.
 * Help?

 * Marcie,
 * Anything other than default permalinks requires additional features of your hosting
   provider. On Apache servers, this is done through mod_rewrite instructions added
   to your .htaccess file.
 * Have a look at the permalink documentation on the Codex:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks)
 * You might also need to contact your hosting provider for assistance. They should
   be familiar with WordPress.
