	URL Rewriting in Wordpress using ISAPI

Solution
One of the easiest and most effective solution for URL rewriting for Wordpress
in a Windows hosting environment is to use ISAPI Rewrite. ISAPI-rewrite 3.0 is
included in all of our shared hosting plans.

1. Login to the admin of your Wordpress control panel and click on Options >
Permalinks. Select the "Custom" radio button and enter the following in the
fields below the radio button:

Custom Structure: /archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
Category base: /archives/category
Tag base: /tags

2. Create a .htaccess file using Notepad or any standard text editor (not
Microsoft Word) and paste in the following code. Once completed, upload the
file to the root directory of your blog (typically the /wwwroot folder or in
some cases /wwwroot/blog):

# Helicon ISAPI_Rewrite configuration file
# Version 3.0.0.21

# BEGIN WordPress
# <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
# </IfModule>
# END WordPress
