How do you change permalink structure and not cause damage?
I want to change my wordpress blog permalink structure to %postname% instead of the default ?p=25 but I don't want to harm my feedburner feed, trackbacks, links, and google index. I have read that I could use Permalink Redirect plugin to do this, but will it hurt my blog? My blog is "young" so I only have about 50 post. I just don't want to do any harm, but I also want to have a more SEO friendly permalink structure. Help!

- From extension page _____________________________________ Redirect Old Slugs allows you to change your post slugs without breaking your permalinks. People requesting the old link will be redirected to the new link. This all happens automatically. Note that this functionality was brought into WordPress core for version 2.1, so this plugin is not needed. When you upgrade to WordPress version 2.1 or higher, your old slugs will be kept and will keep on being redirected without the need for this plugin. _____________________________________
