About 6 months into starting my blog (www.evanswanson.com) I would like to customize my permalinks so that it goes by "/%category%/%postname%/".
However, when I go into settings, then permalinks and make the change, it screws up all my previous posts so that I can no longer visit them. Any wuggestions for a way to implement this for all future posts without losing all my old content?
What was your previous setting? If it was the default it should work - those always work.

If you're referring to my permalinks setting then yes it was default. However, it is my desire to change it from default to a custom permalink: "/%category%/%postname%/"
My problem is that when I make the change it messes up all my previous posts and they no longer become accessible.
I think it has ot do with .htaccess or something?????? Not sure, I'm an idiot, any ideas?
The mandatory reading: Using_Permalinks
As I said above:
a) the default always should work even if you set a custom one
b) the settings applies to all post, even if they are 100 years old!
