I get so much out of articles like this … not as pedantic as a tutorial, and not as academic as some geekish elaboration … really gives me a good sense of what best practices are like.

cheers

p.s. I loved this bit, “You need to tell WordPress how to behave, not try to work around what WordPress does by default.” Do you think Matt has seen it? He might not have, you know. heh … and entirely valid: I spend a lot of time selecting a tool and then, once having selected, “tell it how to behave”. (Eclipse comes to mind.) Very nice practice, sir.

In the above example, you seem to be using the category name in the individual post rewrite rules – but I was under the impression that this was not possible??
