Changing blog titles to something descriptive

I downloaded a wordpress template from the net. Each post results in a url such as http://domainname.com/blog/?page_id=10

Some of the more popular blogs have have urls in the form http://domainname.com/blog/?keyword1-keyword2-keyword3-keyword4.htm.

Could someone advise how to change my urls into the format used by the more popular blogs.

Thank you

 

Go on Options > Permalinks and just use the Custom specify method: /%postname%/ and you got what you need

 

Make sure you set up Permalinks because there are SEO benefits such as bettering your odds of pulling up in the search engines.

 

Thank you. I was just looking up this tag, can you confirm, would the correct syntax that I add to the permalink page be /%postname%/ with the slashes or just %postname% without the slashes.

Thanks
