When I click on for example videos tab on CSSTricks.com it takes me to a URL like http://css-tricks.com/videos. I believe Chris did that page manually?
So I am about to make my blog online and I really wonder how can I do this? Am I suppose to open that folder called videos in the root, and do some magic stuff in in .htaccess?
You don't need the "index.php" part at the end because the host that I'm on is smart enough to look for a matching index file. I am thinking about moving these inside of WordPress though, at some point. Hand coding each page just isn't the best solution. What's cool about WordPress 2.5 is that you can build special page templates. So I could build a "videos" template and create a "page" for each video. Would be a lot easier on my part... I just gotta get around to doing it. Plus then figuring out a good way to redirect all those existing pages to the new pages (they won't be able to have the same URL) without breaking any links.
I understand your point, thank you for your answer, maybe this, http://www.ndesign-studio.com/blog/tricks-tips/htacess-redirect/, can help you with redirecting the old links to the new ones.
I am using pretty links in my wordpress. So my links are like http://www.domain.com/post-title

If it is like that how come the URL is not http://css-tricks.com/videos/index.html
And help will be very much appreciated,
