   I have an older site with WP 2.3.1 that is comprised entirely of "pages", no dynamic content. The url structure is currently http://www.blah.com/?page_id=#. Is there any way to add a custom permalink url to "pages"? Possibly a plugin or something? Thanks for any help!

   Try looking in Admin/Options/Permalinks. Using any of the Common options should also give you "pretty" Page prmalinks.

   I looked up the options and it looks like the permalinks are created from dates, categories and such. I don't have articles that have categories associated with them, or dates. I noticed that "page slugs" might be my answer. Anyone have any experience turning on permalinks and using custom page slugs. I really have to be careful, as this is a long running frequently viewed site and I can't mess it up by experimenting with the links.

   That doesn't matter. Using one of the common options will give you pretty permalink Pages.

   esmi, sorry to be a pain, I just have to know for sure since this is a highly trafficked site. What will it use to determine the url?

   The title is used to determine the permalink, there's also an option when writing a post or page to update or modify this premalink, you'll see this just below the title.
