 * Thanks tomhanna,
 * It was sugested that I use permalinks:
    This is what they said;
 * If you look at one of your blog posts at the
    moment you will see that the link
   to the posts look a little like this:
 * [http://www.yourdomain.com/blog/?p=2](http://www.yourdomain.com/blog/?p=2)
 * This is not good for the search engines.
    Dynamic content pages (i.e. ones with
   a ? in) are not as favored as static pages so wouldn’t it be much better if
   the links looked like this:
 * [http://www.yourdomain.com/blog/1/the-titleof-your-post/](http://www.yourdomain.com/blog/1/the-titleof-your-post/)
 * So I was trying to use permalinks to get these results.
    I am able to get the
   permalink to change the way the link looks but then, well I loose the rss validation.
 * Thanks anyway. I will keep trying to figure it out.

 * I have deleted .htaccess file and taken the permalinks out and am back to the
   begining. I just end up with
    [http://www.tanning-facts.com/blog/?feed=rss2](http://www.tanning-facts.com/blog/?feed=rss2)
   again. How can I get my blog to return a feed so I can submit it to directory’s.

 * As for as I know? I have the permissions set at 666.
    Is WP suposed to write 
   something in the .htaccess file? When I go look the .htaccess file is empty. 
   Is there something i can just put in the access file myself?
