Building my first site

[howie_23]

I'm building my first website and I'm in need of some help.

It's a family site for my wife and I:
www.kellyandtheresa.com is the address.

It's going to be a blog and the question I have is right now the post links are all viewpost.php?id=1. I'd like to get the links to be something like viewPost/Post-title.

I've heard I can do this with Mod_Rewrite but the tutorials I've found have been really confusing. Can anyone explain a good/easy way to do this?

What software are you using for the blog?

I'm not use anything prebuilt. Coding it by hand atm. Mainly just to get my chops going.

It's build on Apache w/ PHP and MySQL.
