 * Quote from ISP:
    “If you have a list of the rewrite rules we need to put in place
   and the directory they need to go into, we can get them in place.”
 * Anyone know what they are asking for? New install.

 * Is it that they have to manipulate the .htaccess file as opposed to letting you
   + wordpress handle it?
 * If so, here’s the info for a root install:
 * `# BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond%{
   REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.
   php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
 * and what wp produces in a subfolder (replace the * areas with your own domain
   info):
 * `# BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /*foldername*/
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule./*
   foldername*/index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
 * The other thing is that if you’re using something besides the regular permalinks,
   that’s going to need changing within wp. So what you can do is select the setup
   you want and then copy what wp shows in the field at the bottom of the page if
   your .htaccess isn’t writeable.
