Help page names

  #1  
Feb 15th, 2006
On my site (www.theatreguildvaldosta.com) the page name displayed in the address bar of the browser includes the page number instead the page name (ex: www.theatreguildvaldosta.com/page7). How do I change that so the actual page name appears instead of the page number? Bear in mind that I know nothing about html.

Thanks.

you can't change what is displayed. what is displayed is the name of the file that has been pulled up, ie what you have the file saved as. If you want to change what is displayed in the address bar, you will have to change the name of the actual file, which will involve changing all the links and everything

The only alternative to having an actual file with the name you want is to play with the server configuration. For Apache, it involves a wealthy knowledge of Regex:
