 * I’m changing my site over to wordpress and the url’s are for example like this:
   MYSITE.com/advertdisplay.php
 * However, if I change this page to wordpress and title it Advert Display, the 
   URL will be advert-display.php. The problem is I don’t want the search engines
   to think i’m duplicating a page.
 * Is there anyway I can control the url of a post?
 * Thanks.

 * Using permalinks I assume? Go to edit the post and on the right side-bar there’s
   a Post Slug entry. Edit that.
