  Hi,

  I am trying to move my WP own-hosted blog to WP hosted service. I only need to set the permalink settings in order to keep the same links. In my own installation I can find a “Permalink” option at the “Settings” menu. How can I do it at the WP.com?

  Regards,
  Mauricio

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Mauricio. Sorry, but you can’t set your own permalinks structure on WordPress.com. However, I noticed that when WordPress.com does not find the URL you request, it tries to match the final portion of the URL with the closest existing URL. More details here:

  I forgot to say: in WordPress.com, all posts have the following permalink structure: /yyyy/mm/dd/slug/ (for example: /2010/10/23/my-post-name/)

  We cannot set the permalinks here at wordpress.COM. They are “day and name” here.

  Is there any way to NOT have a date and/or time on a blog entry?

  For example if I didn’t want someone to know I posted on a certain day?

  There’s no way to not have some day listed, but you can schedule your posts so they go up at different times or on different days than they were written. Do that on the Write Post page, in the sidebar on the right side: click the button beside the little calendar icon.
