One of my biggest pet peeves about
Textpattern was that you couldn't have two different permlinks running at the same time. However, thanks to the plugin
sgb_url_handler, it's possible!
1.
Download and install the plugin.
2. Go to the plugin page and click 'edit'. Insert a code something like this into the plugin:
$sections['domain'] = 'section_title';
$sections['about'] = 'section_title';
$sections['content'] = 'section_title';
That's the code I have in plugin because the sections that I have are 'Domain' 'About' and 'Content'. These should be different for you. For example, if you had a section called 'Random' then your code would be as follows:
$sections['random'] = 'section_title';
The 'section_title' part of the code tells which permlink style you want to use for that particular section. If you wanted to use the permlink style that only displayed the title, this is what your code would look like:
$sections['random'] = 'section_title';
3. After you have put that in your plugin, go to 'Admin' at the top of your Textpattern home page and click preferences underneath. Then, where it says 'Permanent Link Mode' select the style you want. The style I selected was '/year/month/day/title' but it depends on your permlink preference.
Congratulations, now you have different permlinks for your website with Textpattern! I'm sure there are other ways to do this, but this is how I did it. If you need any clarification, feel free to

Ever wonder how to install Wordpress locally on your Mac? Here's how.
*First Step* - Download and install
MAMP by dragging and dropping it into your Applications folder.
*Second Step* - Open up MAMP, and it should open ups a page on your web browser. It should look like
this. This page can be accessed by going to
http://localhost:8888/MAMP.
*Third Step* - You now have to create a database for your Wordpress installation. Look to the navigation bar in your MAMP homepage, and click on the link that says 'phpMyAdmin'. Where it says 'create new database' put in wordpress (or whatever you want to name it).

*Fourth Step* - Download the latest version of
Wordpress. Then, unzip the file and upload it to your htdocs folder.
Image
*Fifth Step* - Once you've uploaded the folder, go to
http://localhost:8888/wordpress (or whatever your named your folder, if you named your folder 'blog' it would be
http://localhost:8888/blog).
Image
*Sixth Step* - Once you reach the page where you have to input your database information, here is what you should put in.
Database name: wordpress (or whatever you've named it)
Database user: root
Database password: root
Image
You can then leave the rest as they are.
Congratulations, you now have Wordpress installed locally on your computer! Have fun! :smile: In theory, you should be able to change these instructions a little to fit other blog systems, but don't take my word for it. The only other blog system I've tried this with is
Textpattern.
