[Norman ONeil]

For a more automated approach to url rewriting you might want to try  
some of the existing solutions.

opensef is open source and quite flexible although not as easy to  
implement with some third party components, but great with joomla  
standard components

opensef.html

SEF Advanced works extremely well with most of the components that I  
have played with although not as flexible as the one above, plus it  
is encrypted and cost around $50. http://www.sakic.net
