I dont think anybody will link to my post using an ending slash if they see the html extention at the end of the link. However, I dont know how it will go with my page or category link. hi jim, I set my permalink structure for the post to this : %postname%.html I think it is much easier than editing htaccess file.

In other words, his post will set you straight if your blog is at yoursite.com but if it’s in a subdirectory, as mine is, like yoursite.com/blog/ then it’s not going to work for you.
