I'm using Wordpress to design my "almost-finished-but-not-quite-there" website.  Of those here who use the same, can you give me the inside scoop on how to change my page URLs from the not so pretty "http://mybusiness.com/?page_id=23" to "http://mybusiness.com/services." Or /rates, /contact, /blog, etc.

So sorry I missed this previously. 

When you log into Wordpress, look in the left column of the admin area. Go to the "settings" menu and then the "permalinks" submenu. You can change the format there. I believe the latest version of Wordpress has the page title option in their list so you shouldn't have to add a custom one.
