[wp-hackers] Custom URL for Paginated Archive Pages

[Ryan Frankel]

Is there anything wrong with doing something along the following to get the result I am looking for?
- - -
add_action( 'init', 'my_permalinks_func' )l
function my_permalinks_func() {
	global $wp_rewrite;
	$wp_rewrite->pagination_base = ''
}
- - -
Then flush the rules.

ALSO, is there a preferred way to change the Author Permalink from ending with {nicename} to {first_name} (or whatever)?  

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.  If there is any documentation or standard procedure for these types of rewrites that would be awesome to.

Thanks,
Ryan
