Little bug squashed inside code

Oops! After posting my guide on running WordPress on Apple’s MobileMe hosting, I got a bunch of emails pointing out that individual post links weren’t working.

Well, half of them were, but here’s what happened and how I fixed it:

I have a domain www.leonstafford.com pointed to my MobileMe webspace at http://web.me.com/leon.stafford/wp/ . Using the methods detailed in my guide, I had set up WordPress at this address. In my index.php page, I’d forgotten to remove the leading /wp/ from the the_permalink tag. This should have made both sites not work, but due I think to the domain redirection method, everything looked fine on the www.leonstafford.com/wp/ site. Getting home tonight, I adjusted the code to fix the permalink addresses and now everything is hunky dory!
