.htacccess rewrite for a specific url

[dantheman50_98]

Hi There,

I'm building a site using opencart and every page on the site has an seo-friendly url except for one, which is the main page of the blog. The url for this is: /index.php?route=blog/category/home/index.php

I'd like this to be just plain old /blog but I can't seem to get it to do this. The opencart forums are about as useful as a wet flannel, so I thought I'd come here to seek the answer to this query.

Here's what's currently in the .htaccess file:

# SEO URL Settings
RewriteEngine On
# If your opencart installation does not run on the main web folder make sure you folder it does run in ie. / becomes /shop/ 

RewriteBase /1521/
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L]
RewriteRule ^googlebase.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_base [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|js|css)
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]

So, any ideas how I can just make a specific request in the .htaccess to change the aforementioned url to /blog?

Thank you,
Dan
