URL Question

    I currently use domain.com/index.php?bla=bla, but I want to change it for the sake of Search Engines. I also use Wordpress, which cuts up urls to domain.com/category/post-title. I'm amazed at this. I checked in FTP and there is no directory of category or post title.

    How is this done? Any Pointers? What is it called?

    admin panel > options > permalinks

    check the option for 'custom, specify below' and input the following into the box

    /%category%/%postname%

    you must have your .htaccess writable for it to work automatically

    Yeah I looked at it and I had no idea on what the hell it was. lol. it was one long line of code. I usually modify the .htaccess files for blocking/redirecting referrers and stop bandwith stealing but this stuff is too complex for me. I looked at apache stuff and I swear I only understood how to turn on the RewriteEngine which is RewriteEngine On lol.
