Hi, Thank you for all you support.
i have one more question,

How can I change the URL’s so that when I copy them over to Facebook, It is just the name of the blog, not all the “easy blog/entry/”.

Thank you!!!!!
Hello FUJIKO,

Sorry for late reply to this,
Correct me if i getting wrong your meaning, do you mean that you would like to get rid of http://www.domainname/easyblog/entry/blogTitle <- ?
Also, I'm sorry about that I don't really get what you are trying to achieve here. -> How can I change the URL’s so that when I copy them over to Facebook,
Can you elaborate your question with more details, and include a screen shot of what you are referring to?

Also, could you mind provide us with your Joomla backendand FTP access as well ? Please advise.

Sorry for not being clear.

When we create a blog and we want to share it in facebook, we need to copy and paste theurl or link.

Normally the url reads: http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxi.com/easyblog/entry/yyyyyyyyyy

I found out that I can change the easyblog tag if I put an alias but then all my old blogs have broken links.
Can I change the alias of the menu without breaking the links?

My other question is how to change or take off the "entry" word from the url. Is it possible?

Our idea is to have a cleaner link to the facebook fans and also to have more friendly URLs for search engines.
this is an example of the lenght of the actual link:

http://www.thebalancedyogi.com/easyblog/entry/lessons-from-a-5-000-year-old-health-care-practice-1

I hope I am more clear now.

Hello Fujiko,

You can remove the "entry" word by setting the SEO behavior to be "Simple" but unfortunately right now, if you change the menu alias, old blog links would be broken unless you setup a 301 redirection in your .htaccess file to redirect all requests to /easyblog/ to /blog/ perhaps?
