Well I agree in theory with not changing the URLs. However in practice I have now converted my former css-html based web site over to a WordPress CMS site.

I wanted to do this in order to gain flexibility in the future evolution of my site. The URL names of my web pages has completely been changed. Now all of my pages bear names that are meaningful within their own language, (instead of nomfrançais_en.html, nomfrançais_es.html, for example).

Now if anyone types one of my old file names in their browser, they end-up to the new page through a one-on-one set of commands that rerout them from a .htaccess file.
