Hello readers! I’m sorry if some of you were searching and just hitting the front page here, or getting a 404. That’s not cool on my part. I’ve had a few small growing pains since upgrading to Wordpress (mainly due to my lack of knowledge of things), but I think now I’ve got it fixed.

For anyone that cares, I had to change the permalinks structure of this page to match what Google’s Blogger service had. To do this I simple used a custom permalinks definition of, “/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html”. The default had year/month/day/postname/. At first I tried removing the day and putting it without the .html and realized quickly that the pages needed to have the .html as that’s the way that Blogger did it. The .html doesn’t actually create an html page, but just tricks it somewhat to redirect.  Now it should all be working and whatever you’re finding on a search engine should work again. If something isn’t working, please send me an email or comment here about it.
