Trying to make a theme

I’ve never seen WP permalinks look like blog.squaremonkeys.org/post/100.q . Not sure where you would proceed from here except find the most basic WP theme you can and then alter it to have the same look as yours. I think this method would be a lot faster than trying to add the code to your current theme.

Understood.
