 * I’ve searched, but can’t seem to find the answer, so apologies if this has already
   been addressed.
    My blog is at: [http://www.shakykaiser.com/blog/](http://www.shakykaiser.com/blog/)
   and my permalink rewrite is: /archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ So
   my archives are, for example: [http://www.shakykaiser.com/blog/archives/2004/07/27/sorry/](http://www.shakykaiser.com/blog/archives/2004/07/27/sorry/)
   However, I’d prefer it to be: [http://www.shakykaiser.com/archives/2004/07/27/sorry/](http://www.shakykaiser.com/archives/2004/07/27/sorry/)
   Any ideas? Thanks

 * seems to me that wont work otherwise je would be messing up your blog root as
   it is…blog.
    so changing that would cause problems in all its functions….but 
   perhaps im wrong… let next poster give some opinion…

 * Hmm, doesn’t that move the entire blog to the web root? I want my index to be
   in domain/blog but my archives to be in domain/archives.
    It’s only cos my old
   MT blog was setup like that. I’m using idly’s fix to use old _’s, but Google 
   and all other people’s links to my archives are unfortunately to domain/archives.

 * I could write some rewrite rules to help you out, but that alone won’t help, 
   since wordpress will deliver pages with the standard rewritten links!
