Hi Guys,
I've just started writing a blog. But didn't realized urls were not search engine friendly. Now I tried to change the permalinks to make Search Engine friendly urls.
But showing error ... page not found. How I can fix the problem ... any advice?
Thanks in advance.

Does your wordpress is installed inside a subdirectory or at the root...
If you are using a subdirectory, check whether your .htaccess is included that as the 'RewriteBase'...
Hope you are not seeing any messages like wordpress can't write your .htaccess file or something..

all in one seo pack give you option to change meta tags and attributes of each page/post you have so each page/post page become seo optimized.
it works from version 1.5 and above

Thanks for your useful reply. Just want to add more from plugins page -
* Automatically optimizes your titles for search engines
* Generates META tags automatically
* Avoids the typical duplicate content found on Wordpress blogs
* For Wordpress 2.3 you don't even have to look at the options, it works out-of-the-box. Just install.
* You can override any title and set any META description and any META keywords you want.
* You can fine-tune everything
* Backward-Compatibility with many other plugins, like Auto Meta, Ultimate Tag Warrior and others.
In one word, excellent plugins.

If All In One SEO Pack doesn't do Mod_Rewrite, to get the pretty permalinks....
Go to your Setting>Permalinks then type in /%category%/%postname% (if thats how you want it to be structured).
Set your .htaccess file permissions (CMOD) to 777, then back in your Wordpress click "Update".
WP will automatically rewrite your links. After it has done that go back to your .htaccess file and change the permissions back to something more secure like 655 I think it is or 665.
Reload your WP page and you should see something like this at the bottom....
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I done this before installing the AIO SEO Pack. So it might be of help it might not.

I had a bad experience previously with .htaccess file when i was rewriting url for www.tvbusinesslounge.com and i was partially successful in xpert.tvbusinesslounge.com. That's why i don't want to get my hand dirty and looked for some alternative solutions!
