Slickr Gallery Question(s)…

Ok, so I’m nearly there with Slickr Gallery,…have it working to upload photos in posts and the flickr rss on my homepage works fine with Shadowbox…

I don’t know how to finalize the Slickr Gallery Settings, how to create the path to a gallery URL…when I change the permalinks default like ?=172 to any of the other options, I’m just clicking another option, the page comes up as an error page…in the instructions to set up slickr it says : “You need to change your post options from the default ?=172 to /year/month/day/ or /postname/.”

I do get a message on the permalinks page that says I should update my .htaccess file but I don’t know how to do that…

Can anybody help me?…I mean when I input the ?page_id=53 test page I’m doing I do get a “View your gallery” link on the Slickr Gallery settings page, and it takes me to a page set up correctly, with my albums, but they don’t work…no thumbnails come up…looks like some text flashes for a moment, another error page?

ok, that’s my story of woe for this morning…any pointers in the right direction would be kindly appreciated…thanks…
