In reply to: Acceptable Use Policy ?Thanks Samuel,
You found a lot of information I had not. What did you search for to find it? I think I will send an email to the one provided at that link and see what happens.
You have been a lot of help.
Thank You,

In reply to: Acceptable Use Policy ?Thanks Samuel,
The web address is http://www.fallingbullets.com , so I think it is a self-hosted site. I also think it is one of those automated, POS sites, so I do not think anybody is there to check their contact page. I might try contacting their host and see what happens.
Thanks again,

In reply to: 301 redirect from HTML to WordPressHey Peter,
That plugin works great and is incredibly easy. I set it up and had my first redirect in about 3 minutes. Thanks a lot. Do you know if that does the same thing as it would in the .htaccess file as far as SEO and how search engines looks at it.
Thanks again!

In reply to: Admin changes take long time to take affectThe refresh works. I had tried that but not on the actual webpage itself, just in the admin screen.
Thanks for your help.

In reply to: Admin changes take long time to take affectI am only running a contact form plugin at this time. Should I be running a caching plugin?
I have not asked at the link you provided. Would you like me to take the discussion there?

In reply to: Changing Permalinks from #'s to post nameOkay Esmi,
I am glad to hear about the backlinks. I will mess around with the .htaccesss and hopefully I can get it working. I hope WP will just do it for me, but it did not do it last time I tried. Is it possible to change the restrictions so that it will?
You said it was unadvised to change the permalinks to %postname%, but is it a good choice to change them to %year%/%postname% ?
Thanks a lot!

In reply to: Changing Permalinks from #'s to post nameYeah, I do not really know where to look for the wp root folder. Would this be through my web host? I’ll take a look.

In reply to: Changing Permalinks from #'s to post nameSorry, I am using the default ?p=123 permalink setting. I am unsure that I have an existing .htaccess file in the root folder. I will see if I can find out and get back to you, but I am not sure that I will be able to due to lack of experience.
Thank You Again for the help!

In reply to: Changing Permalinks from #'s to post nameNo, the .htaccess was not modified. I was looking into that, but did not figure it out. Do you have a reference on this topic?
At this point the permalink is only /%post_id%/, so the default I guess. I would like tho have the /%postname%/ in the permalink somewhere, as this would help for SEO I would think.
If I change the permalinks to /%post_id%/%postname%/, is it possible to get the traffic from the backlinks I have out there already, as I have done a lot of work to get the backlinks that I have? Maybe some type of redirect is possible?
Again, thanks for your help: Chris

In reply to: Changing Permalinks from #'s to post nameEsmi,
Thanks for the reply. In reading the post at ottopress, they say that %year%/%postname% is a good permalink structure to use. Could I change my permalinks from post number to that as it should improve SEO don’t you think. Then if I do it, I suppose I would have to change all my back links (which is impossible) to reflect this change, right? I tried to change my permalinks already to postname, and then none of my pages worked except for the index, so I assume there is something else I need to do as well.
