I have a blog with around 40 posts, and i want to change the URL structure these posts. this is my old URL something like:
domain.com/blog/2013/02/04/string-here.html

i want to set the URL like:
domain.com/blog/category/string-here/

Now the concern is recently i have get the PR to my site after a long struggle ;)

i am using wordpress for my blog, and will do url rewriting easily,
i just want to know should i have to use 301 permanent redirection so that i will not get the 404 page not found error for my old pages??

In terms of SEO, mod_rewrite can be helpful if you have complex URLs that contain more than 2 parameters. In other words, if one of your dynamic URLs is accessed, the mechanism behind mod_rewrite will "translate" it into a shorter, friendlier, static-looking URL.

Yes, you should use a 301 Redirect if the pages are going to move to the new URL structure permanently. The new structure is an improvement in terms of readability also.
