   I have a blog hosted with my business website in a folder separate for just the blog. I have another URL redirected to that folder.
   (i.e. blog hosted at etmcreative.com, but quilties.com directs to the wordpress folder at etmcreative.com/blog)

   Is there a way to make my permalinks say "quilties.com/archives/123"
   rather than "etmcreative.com/blog/archives/123"??

   I see in the permalinks options page that there is a custom box...can I just type what I want there? Will it work? Are there rules about what can go in that custom box for it to work.

   can I just type what I want there?

   No. See Using_Permalinks.

   Thank you for that link, it is somewhat helpful, but makes me think that I can't do what I want. It all assumes that you have the same thing for localhost and I want to use my URL in the permalink, not the localhost.

   I wonder if there is some kind of tricky work around.

   You cannot use a url in a permalink.
