# Naming Pages?

 * When I add pages, “about” for example, instead of the page being called davidbabylon.
   com/about.htm it is called davidbabylon.com/?page_id=6
 * How can I control what the page is named?
 * Also, I have seen a few paes with this in the menu so I figure I’ll ask it here.
   How can I add a page “Photos” for example, have it visible as one of my pages
   in the navigation, but have it directly link to my Flickr page?
 * Thanks!

 * You’ll have to set custom permalinks (Options > Permalinks) to get the “pretty”
   links to your Pages. Here’s a bit of info on that:

 * There’s a few ways to go about playing with a Page link, but probably the easiest
   is to use a plugin like Redirectify:
