Need help with taming permalinks

    I’m having a small problem with permalink display.

    First of all I would like to find out should I use pretty permalinks or almost pretty permalinks for this.

    I’m using WP as a CMS and I have 8 static pages in my navigation panel and at the end of it I added blog. It will be a very simple news blog.

    With some help I’ve got almost everything working, there are few small details I don’t like.

    Before I added blog and changed permalinks this was displayed in address bar:

    sitename.com/pagename

    Everything worked great – I was using /page-name/ permalink

    After adding blog and updating permalinks, this is displayed in address bar:

    sitename.com/pagename/ – I’m using /%category%/%postname%/ permalink

    Some pages don’t display images no more

    When I press blog on navigation I’m getting this in address bar: sitename.com/category/myblogname when I only want sitename.com/myblogname displayed.

    When I click on post inside myblog this is displayed in address bar: sitename.com/myblogname/postname – which I just like I want 🙂

    Will be grateful for every answer !

    I’ve been studying that page for hours today. And I understand how they work, more or less. I’m just not sure If I’m using the right combination and is it even possible to achieve what I want.

    /%category%/%postname%/ is the closest I’ve got to my desired result.

    only problem is that when using this permalink, when I click on blog this is displayed in address bar: site.com/category/blogname/ where I wan’t for it do display site.com/blogname/.
    If I remove /%category%/ from permalink then I will achieve this, but when browsing to post inside that blog this is displayed: site.com/postname, but I would like this to be displayed: site.com/blogname/postname in address bar.
