Head on over to Free Sketch or drop Samsudin an email at [email protected]. Remember to have your picture attached with the mail.

I decided to change my permalinks structure to no longer include %category% as part the url. I was thinking about long term maintenance and noticed a possible flaw in the current structure which is /category/post/. What happens if I decide to remove or rename a category?
