Thanks for the assist. Well, the first thing that I did was to update to WP 2.7, then I dnldd CUTLINE 1.4 for 2.7 & installed it. MOSTLY, that took care of the issue that I was having with getting the ABOUT to appear. There was apparently a "code" discrepancy between the older version of CUTLINE and the newest release of WP 2.7 that was managed in the newer release, i.e., CUTLINE 1.4.3. Further, I thank you for pointing out the answer to the placement of the "slug" entry by mentioning where it lives, which is under the "QUICK-EDIT" function. It was well hidden and your post was most helpful by uncovering it for the rest of us. Thanks, Jay Isabel..

Maybe you could explain the difference. And just for general observation... I have YET to read ANY posts from the publishers of CUTLINE! One would think that this would be the minimum level of assistance for users of their template, eh? Jay I did manage to get the ABOUT page up and running as you noticed, but I must say that as a novice here:

1) I have no idea what “permalinks” are or what their function is…

2) I am equally in the dark as to what the term “FRIENDLY’ permalinks means or how they are at all different from the aforementioned normel “permalinks”…

It would be more helpful if you actually showed the code that you "tweaked"! Does that make sense? Again, Thanks. Jay C:

For the archives link on the header to work, you would need to activate the "friendly" permalinks. Are you sure "friendly" permalinks are working okay on your site?

(If you want to be sure, go to Pages > Edit > Quick Edit, and you can see or change the slug there.) The permalink structure you will have to change yourself, but fortunately, it's really very simple. Go to Settings > Permalinks, select the "Custom Structure" option, and insert the following line of text: /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html I was having some trouble with this too (the page looked great in preview, but I couldn't actually get to them from the blog itself), but now everything seems to be working fine.
