/blog/CATEGORY/YYYY/MM/ANYTHING to /blog/YYYY/MM/ANYTHING?

[ultrus]

Hello,

I'm puzzled with a redirect with recent wordpress url changes. How would I convert urls like:

http://mywebsite.com/blog/the-category/2008/09/the-post-title

to

http://mywebsite.com/blog/2008/09/the-post-title ?

 

Here is a starting point so far:

/blog/([a-z\-]+)/2008/([0-9]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9\-])

/blog/2008/$2/$3

 

Does that look right and how do I place it in a mod_rewrite rule?

 

Thanks much in advance.
