In an attempt to make my WordPress URLs more search engine friendly I changed my WP permalinks structure from the default to the, more SEO friendly, /%postname%/.
Even though this practice seems to work for most WP blogs it did not for me!
Actually after saving the new permalinks structure in my admin panel I completely lost access to both, the admin interface and blog creating an endless redirect loop.

Murkx!!!

I got lucky though after reading through the help forum at WP.org somebody suggested to edit the .htaccess file to the following:


# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress


Hopefully this fix will be helpful to somebody else too!

At last!
My own custom WordPress template finally ready and live.
After massaging it all year long, fixing IE7 problems and trying a few different layout options I have finally dared to upload and install my custom theme.
It is much more difficult to design for myself, I am probably my most difficult client.
I consider this template a work in progress, so please stand by for updates…

The new Biond Consulting website was launched just in time for Salon BI in Montreal this April.

The site is based on a Joomla template but extensively customized with modules and custom CSS formatting to fit Biond’s particular needs, i.e a CMS to facilitate frequent content updates as well as a professional, branded look.
