Thanks heaps mate, - it worked perfectly now. Guess the problem is with my hosting company, it's not allowing the mod_rewrite - once I sort that out, I'll be able to add year, month and day - I'll keep the id for performance, thanks for the note on that.

Cheers,

Guys, if anyone can shed some light on this would be great. I decided a little while ago to change the Permalink formation for my blog site,

From: archives/%id%-%title%.html
To: archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%title%.html

From: authors/%id%-%realname%
To: authors/%realname%

From: categories ...
