 * I am starting a new blog and would like to ask the following question .
    I have
   just installed wp on my domain by using fantastico in cpanel it is the 2.0.4 
   version . I would like to have my permalinks have the /%postname%/ option . Is
   it enough to put the form in the options>permalinks>custom field or do I have
   to write the .htaccess file myself .
 * Does the new version automatically rewrites the .htaccess file for you , once
   you put it in the custom field ?
 * Thank you !

 * If there is a .htaccess file AND it is writable (=chmod 666) then WP will write
   the rules into it.
    If the .htaccess file is not writable – it may ask you to
   put the code that is shown below into your .htaccess file.
