The .htaccess contents should look something like this:

# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /root/home/"accountDir"/"dir01"/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .  /root/home/"accountDir"/"dir01"/index.php [L]
# END WordPress

http://www.ccie.hk = root/home/”accountDir”/”dir01″/
the index.php ad .htacess and rest of WP stuffs are saved within dir01

settings:
WordPress address (URL)=> http://www.ccie.hk
Blog address (URL) => http://www.ccie.hk

I have problem in implementation of permalinks into my blog hosted with my Linux server.

After troubleshooting for hours today, I just managed to get the permalink workable, but with “/index.php/%postname%”

situation like this:
http://www.ccie.hk/index.php/w.....-notes-v14

Can you advis what’s go wrong? :<

speakless, you read my mind … as I have been thinking this problem

Will you link together distinct posts, or is it more like different chapters (headings) in one post?

If it’s the former, there is a concept that might suite you: A series. I implemented a plugin for that, and I can imagine you could use that as well to organize posts sequentially into a “whole”. Needless to say, my upcoming tab bar plugin will support building tab bars automatically from posts in a series.

you should definitely adjust your permalink settings. It’s a MUST if you plan on doing any SEO or any other PR about your blog. (That is, if you plan to make your blog popular. It’s also makes interlinking posts much easier, as you can simply type in the post slug, and not look up the post ID first. This is particularly important if you plan to use your blog in part as a knowledge base (as I know you do).

Go to Settings->Permalinks, select “Custom Structure” and enter “/%postname%”. That’s the optimal permalink structure.

That would improve your trouble with getting the post ID’s right, as with the above setting the URLs are formed from a sanitized version of the post title, which is much more memorable. The URL you provided, http://www.ccie.hk/?p=458, would then become http://www.ccie.hk/chapter-1

Much easier, right?

I have implemented tab-style navigation bar at here

http://www.ccie.hk/?p=458

I intended to make feeling like switching (flipping) pages, but I found it was a bit difficult to edit link numbers for each post, so it will take me some time to fine tune it and to make the editing smooth …

I had (and still have) similar needs. My best bet on this matter were personal wikis, but they have no or limited web connectivity. One technology I’ve found promissing is TiddlyWiki, and its off-spring MPTW, on which my online personal wiki is based.
