I have two problems:

1: how to use a permalink in wordpress? 

2: how to enable xml-rpc? I cannot connect to my wordpress from windows live writer. 

Looking forward to your reply.

I thought I’d share some of my post-install tips. Some of them are necessary and others are purely my personal preference, but hopefully you’ll find them useful:
Change the default admin password. The default WordPress password is very difficult to remember, so make it something you’ll be more comfortable with.
Fill out your profile. I recommend you fill out your first and last names, and website address if it’s different to your blog address. You can use these parameters in your WordPress theme to display your name and website alongside posts written by you.
Set the tagline for the blog. The default tagline reads “Just another WordPress weblog”. Not very professional. You can change this in Options / General. From an SEO perspective, make sure your tagline includes relevant keywords, as these will be included in blog search engines like Technorati.
Clear the default blogroll. Much as I like and respect the WordPress developers, their links don’t belong on every blogroll! Click on the Blogroll menu (used to be called Links in previous versions) and delete the entries in there. Feel free to replace with a list of friends/family/colleagues…
Delete the “Hello World” post. WordPress starts you off with one post and a comment from Mr WordPress. You should delete these straight away and consider replacing with your own introductory post saying who you are and what the blog’s about.
Edit the About page. WordPress automatically creates an About page for your blog. It’s recommended that you fill this in, because it provides basic information to your readers about the topic of your blog.
Configure discussion options. This controls whether blog comments are left automatically or if they’re held for review. The default settings are pretty good, but you can enforce stricter rules by selecting “An administrator must always approve the comment”. You can also add watchwords to the comment moderation area so that comments with certain words are automatically held for moderation.
Configure Permalinks. WordPress handles URL naming automatically so you don’t have to. Basically, you decide the format for your URLs, set it and forget it. Permalink formats are a hot topic, and subject of much debate. My preferred format at the moment is /%post_id%/%postname%/ which gives the post number and then the title (obviously). Some people are taking it a step further and just having yourdomain.com/%postname%/ which is even cleaner.
Create Categories. This is an important step, as your categories will help organise your content for years to come. Choose appropriate category names, do some keyword research to identify popular terms – even your category names can help with SEO!

1. wordpress there is a permanent link to a URL set of course use this link to support your server needs rewrite functions (that is, we often say that the pseudo-static opening), use this link to confirm use of a permanent link to the article title, then you can set up their own page name is the. So how to set a permanent link to it? Login WordPress control panel find the Options menu, select the permanent link and choose the structure of a permanent link, or your own custom one, it is best to set a static page, to facilitate the search engines. Usually set a fixed link is: /% category% /% postname%. Html this type. I also use the php program to build a few wordpress blog site, modern-sunglasses.com, new-designer-sunglasses.org, new-designer-sunglasses.net, I was so optimized, this is my point contribution.

 

2. Did you follow these instructions?

Remote posting web address for your blog – only change blogname to your actual blog name. The URL needs to end in xmlrpc.php.

Several people have questioned about WAMP – actually, that was the first thing I thought of after the initial paragraphs when it became obvious that you weren’t going to mention it. Please at least comment about XAMPPs place/comparison/position in the world of local servers.

As part of the WordPress installation, you must modify the wp-config.php file to define the WordPress configuration settings required to access your MySQL database.

This file, wp-config.php, does not exist in a downloaded copy of WordPress; you need to create it. The wp-config-sample.php file is provided as an example to work from. Save it as wp-config.php before editing. Advanced settings and examples are provided below.

A content delivery network or content distribution network CDN is a system of computers containing copies of data, placed at various points in a network so as to maximize bandwidth for access to the data from clients throughout the network. A client accesses a copy of the data near to the client, as opposed to all clients accessing the same central server, so as to avoid bottleneck near that server. A cdn will increase speed and efficiency for your blog.

If you have ever installed WordPress and wanted to know what else you could do with your wp-config.php file, this is the blog post to read. As Ozh points out in the comments, a couple of tricks were left out but nothing that could not be remedied with a simple Google search (e.g. WP_HTTP) as long as you know what you are looking for.
