# Adding digits to Post_ID

 * I posted this earlier, but I think in the wrong section of the forum.
 * I am a newbie and was hoping there is an easy way to change the way %Post_ID%
   displays in permalinks. Right now it’s outputting a 1 or 2 digit number (e.g.“
   23”) and I’d like that number to be at least three digits. Is there a way to 
   change “23” to “00023” for example, or to add 100 to the value of post_id so 
   that 1 could become 101? The objective is to make my blog more friendly to news
   search engine crawls.
