Wordpress Bug

I was just posting on to my blog at trimbill.com/blog. Yes that's my new venture. ll write a post about that soon.

This is hosted using wordpress plugin provided by my webhost, GoDaddy.

Now, the post had this headline,
"New Internet Connection… Help!!"

So, by default setting of wordpress, it set the permalink of the post to
http://trimbill.com/blog/2009/10/new-internet-connection…-help

By commonsense, These dots in the url are sure to create problem.

If you go to that page, there is a 404 error.
Also, Because of this, comments cannot be posted.


So, whats the solution?
I got over it by manually editing the permalink to
http://trimbill.com/blog/2009/10/new-internet-connection/

Screenshot:
Wordpress can fix it by ignoring the dots while creating the permalink automatically using the title of the post. Hope they ll consider this.

- I am using Wordpress 2.8.4 on Godaddy Economy webhost
