Extended URL in Postings Problem

Ha, yup, sorry for that…

I’ll use the example of my most recent post.

If you go to the credit crunch news category, you’ll see my post titled Real Estate Investors’ Answer to the Credit Crunch.

The url says:
http://www.websitewaves/category/credit-crunch-news.

The url I want would be:
http://www.websitewaves.com/real-estate-investors-answer-to-the-credit-crunch.html

Here’s an example on someone else’s blog that has it right:

http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_to_find_people_on_linkedin.html

Now, you can find a link to that entry through his category for articles reviews and cool stuff. It’s the most recent entry for that category at the top:

http://www.askdavetaylor.com/cat_articles_reviews_and_cool_stuff.html

Then there’s a link “The answer to “how do you find…” that takes people to the page with the custom link.

So, possibly I’m after two questions. #1) how to make the url become whatever I enter as the title of the entry and #2 how to get the entry posted partially on a category page and then have the link to the page with the custom url.

Thanks in advance.
