I am a full blown beginner and I'm learning slowly so please answer like I don't know anything :)
I would like to change
http://judypaster.com/?page_id=2

(as well as all the other pages)
Is there an easy way to do this or code or HELP!

What you are looking for is called a permalink. Here's the WordPress write up on them: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

Thank you, I thought that was Permalinks but got confused. The article is not totally clear to me but it looks like I may have to use /%category%
Does that sound right or even close? Thanks

Well, %category% can be part of a URL for a post. In addition to creating the general rule for permalinks for posts, you can also set them specifically for pages in the "page editor". It's actually the first field on that page. Just click the Edit button and you can make the link anything you like. I guess I should have pointed you there first. Sorry for the confusion.

You probably want to use the structure:
/%category%/%postname%/
This is the most common structure and posts will appear as:
yoursite.com/postcategory/posttitle
Pages will appear as:
yoursite.com/pagetitle

You are all awesome for helping. I guess I will look at page editor first. I didn't know that -- but it is good to have the code as well. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!

You know what? I went to my "About" page and changed the permalink to "http://jusypaster.com/about" -- It automatically changed all the other pages to the correct URLs as well. One step -- That was easy! Thanks everyone!
