 * I want to set up another structure of permalink template. Well working in 1.2
   version of WP is **/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/**.
    But I prefer this
   structure **/%postname%**. Is it possible? In my prefered case WP return bad 
   links to categories and archives, such as “[http://myblog.com/%postname&#8221](http://myblog.com/%postname&#8221);.
   Permalink template must contain “**/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/**” keywords? Thanks

 * I’m not sure what is mandanted on the permalink templates. However, you run the
   distinct possibility of having a URI point to no data because two posts have 
   the same title.
    It is ill-advised to simply use /%postname%, over time it will
   undoubtedly cause you problems.

 * That is so true!
    Suggested feature: ‘Stickies’: to be able to ‘stick’ selected
   posts to the top of the list. The ideal way to sort posts is to have them in 
   as a id number where **no** two posts can be the same (ala post_id). It shouldnt
   have to be sorted by date.
