 * I think I see the problem. The fourth group (becomes $4) is not correct. Here
   is what it should be:
    `RewriteRule ^archives/([0-9]{4})?/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?([0-
   9]{1,2})?/?([0-9a-z-]+)?/?([0-9]+)?/?$ /index.php?year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&
   name=$4&page=$5 [QSA]`

 * well, the install is complete. design, previous blog entries, etc. have all been
   ported over _and_the majority of my old URLs still work, specificly those that
   I used as permalinks before. Thanks for the help.

 * allusion: thanx for the input
    i had thought about doing this shortly after posting
   this. about the only hurdle i see right now with this option is dealing with 
   redirecting my category links. I use shorter names for use in the url and longer
   names for display (i.e. `/catgories/online/` is the URL for the “Online Happenings”
   category). one possible solution is mapping the old (shorter) names to their 
   new WP version. When all is said and done I’m gonna document this (the changes
   neccesary for my changeover) as best a possible on my blog.
