 * I wanted to change the permalinks for my blog. my goal was:
    example.com/title-
   of-the-entry I correctly entered the template-tag /%postname%/. but now the permalink
   is example.com/title-of-the-entry/trackback how can i remove the “trackback” 
   from the link?

 * anyway probably not a good idea : what do you expect if you have two posts with
   the same title ? It’s pretty expected to happen sooner or later…

 * that’s weird — I use %postname% for my permalinks and it works fine… what WP 
   version are you using?

 * I use WP1.2 and my .htaccess is
    ` RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /blog/ RewriteRule
   ^category/(.*)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /blog/wp-feed.php?category_name=$1&
   feed=$2 [QSA] RewriteRule ^category/?(.*) /blog/index.php?category_name=$1 [QSA]
   RewriteRule ^author/(.*)/(feed|rdf|rss|rss2|atom)/?$ /blog/wp-feed.php?author_name

 * I too tried to use %postname% as the permalink…. and it worked quite well, but
   the archives got toasted, so I *had* to go back to %year%/%monthnum%/%postname%
   
   BTW: %year%-%monthnum% doesn’t work either….. TG
