By now, you probably realize that our blog here is powered by WordPress. For those who are familiar with this open source blogging platform, you might already know about their vast number of features, plugins, and themes. For those of you new to WordPress like myself, there remain quite a few tricky parts to setting up and hosting your own full-featured blog.
When I ran into some trouble setting up the permalinks for this blog, I went digging for answers on google and found out about the “mod_rewrite” permission in Apache that is necessary in order for the “pretty permalinks” to work properly. After consulting several resources such as this one, it was clear to me that in order to fix our problem, I would have to venture into the server with the terminal through the SSH protocol.
Say what?
