Hello I'm obviously new here and I need help. I've been searching all day for a certain problem and couldn't really find a solution. I'm practically a beginner in web developing and so I want to know how to generate a new url, if that makes sense. Like if I create a new blog.. how can I assign a URL to that blog?
Hope I make sense and I'm coding in VB.

These URLs are not very attractive for SERPs so you may want to take a look at "URL Rewriting" for marketing purposes.

<a href="http://www.site.com/blog/ViewBlog.aspx?id=1">blog 1</a>
<a href="http://www.site.com/blog/ViewBlog.aspx?id=2">blog 2</a>As for asp.net routing -- yes it can. It is up to the developer to choose a URL rewriting mechanism and that is one of them.
