   Hi,

   I'm trying to understand how WordPress redirects (for example):
   http://www.myblog.com/acategory/apost/
   to:
   http://www.myblog.com/index.php
   and still capture the 'acategory' and 'apost' path names to determine which post to display?

   Regards,
   C-

   I mean there is clearly no files or even path that exist at:
   http://www.myblog.com/acategory/apost/
   so it's just faking it somehow - but how?

   the .htaccess file does that. it redirects everything that isn't to an existing file/folder to the WP index.php which then reads the URL and parses it to find out what was requested
