    Hi, I thought permalinks were just for linking to an exact blog entry to save time searching for a certain blog, so I enabled permalink with post name (post the names of the title html tag for my Pages), but I was just curious, when I clicked on my created page:Contact Us the URL showed:
    http://localhost/wordpress/contact-us/
    I know this sounds dumb, I noticed on real working sites too that know how to reference a another page, but where is the .html extension or are there web hosts that strip that away to be cleaner but in actuality it is of course http://localhost/wordpress/contact-us.html?

    WordPress is a dynamic web application. When you invoke the url rewrite module of your web server, it makes the url more semantic for search engines.

    It’s not like a static html site.
