Permalink for regular posts “/blog/”

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to accomplish the following:

http://www.mydomain/blog/my-blog-post/

I'm using the /%postname%/ for my permalink structure, but this eliminates the "/blog/" from all posts that are technically blog only.

Is there a way to ensure that "/blog/" is within the URL structure for regular Posts?

In addition, is there a way to REMOVE the post type slug from the URL for a Custom Post Type?

For sure. Just set your structure to: /blog/%postname%/ or /blog/%category%/%postname%/. Permalink structure is only for posts ;D

	One thing though ... what about Custom Post Types? I don't want `/blog/` to be apart of their URLs... – dcolumbus Jul 27 '12 at 22:37
	But /blog/ will show only in posts.This is not what you need? – Brightweb Jul 28 '12 at 2:34
	Sorry, let me clarify ... I want "/blog/" to be apart of the URL for the generic "post" type ... however, for custom post types, I do NOT want "/blog/" to be a part of the URL. So the only time "/blog/" shows up in the URL is when browsing the generic "post" type. – dcolumbus Jul 31 '12 at 0:19

I've come to accept that this is just not possible with WordPress. You MUST have a slug for a custom post type.
