Restructured my blog URL patterns

Today I've restructured my blog's URL pattern to give a better idea of what the content is about and make it sensible that it's a HTML content.

Previously

http://www.mymindleaks.com/<category>/some-good-post/

now changed to

http://www.mymindleaks.com/blog/archives/some-good-post.html

So, what is the big deal in this?
  1. ".html" gives a feel that it's a HTML file content and not a folder, unlike the previous link
  2. /blog/ gives a feel that it's a blog
  3. /archives/ gives a feel that the post is a archive of the blog and it's not sticky. I mean sticky is, none of the post is going to stay on the front page of the blog, like the option of "archive" in your mail software. Non-archived mail stays in your inbox ( front-page ).
Since, I'm using wordpress, I'm forced to spend some time to find some plug-ins to achieve my target and make my life comfortable and also doesn't make my readers annoying by throwing 404 pages on their face. I found a plug-in by googling to change to new pretty-urls or permalinks ( this is what wordpress calls them ). Thanks to Dean Lee for this plugin. It's quite helpful and saved my time in rewriting .htaccess files and other hiccups.
