Link Customization

[thatgirljonnie]

Is there a way to customize links in wordpress without using a plugin?

All I'm trying to do is to create a link structure like this:

www.websitename.com/CategoryName/PostTitle

www.websitename.com/blog/TitleofBlogPost

I messed with the permalinks settings in wordpress but all I didn't get the result I wanted.

I know Cliff talked about something similar, if not this very topic a few episodes back were he answered a listener voicemail about link customization. Does anybody remember the ep? Maybe that will help answer my question.

Does this image help:

Hmm...I don't have that text box. All I have is a button that says change permalinks.

IDK. It might have something to do with the theme I chose.

Thanks for the pic, Cliff.


EDITED TO ADD:

I didn't see a reply button for this topic, but

I have a hosted wordpress installation.

Are you on WordPress.com or do you have your own installation of WordPress?
