.htaccess for Word Press

Do you have any good resources to understand how to best configure .htaccess files for WordPress? Knowing that the .htaccess is highly configurable AND I come from a Microsoft background.

Why not leave the defaults until you are directed otherwise? Wordpress and some plugins will either require write access to .htaccess so they can make changes or give you the text to copy-paste yourself.

Things like your URL structure can be changed inside of Wordpress Admin. Many seem to recommend avoiding using dates in the URL if you are concerned about good content appearing stale after a few weeks.
