 * I’ve read the codex for adding permalinks and think I have everything figured
   out. I need to go to my .htaccess file and add the following code:
 * /archives/%post_id/%postname%/
 * My question is where do I insert that code? And is that all that I need to do?
   I am including the contents of my .htaccess file below. I am sing WP 1.5 and 
   the nikynik orange theme.
 * # -FrontPage-
 * IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
 * <Limit GET POST>
    order deny,allow deny from all allow from all </Limit> <Limit
   PUT DELETE> order deny,allow deny from all </Limit> AuthName [http://www.ontherunmusic.com](http://www.ontherunmusic.com)
   AuthUserFile /home/otrmusic/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd AuthGroupFile /home/
   otrmusic/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp
 * Thanks alot

 * Login to your WordPress admin interface and go to Options/Permalinks.

 * Thanks. And then I guess I just need to know if my server has mod_rewrite huh?

 * If you don’t want to filter your permalink structure through index.php, yes.
