Wordpress defaults to an ugly permalink structure.

For instance, lets say the url of your blog is

http://www.myblog.com

If you write a post with the title ‘Great Movie I Saw’, under the default structure the permalink will be something  like:

http://www.myblog.com/?p=22

Pretty ugly and, even worse, meaningless to search engines.  It would be much better to make it something like:

http://www.myblog.com/great-movie-i-saw

Anyone who sees that url will know what it means immediately, and search engines will be able to index it more easily.

Here’s where you can find detailed information about on nice permalink structure in Wordpress blogs.
