When you talk about using the htaccess to make your URL's more search engine friendly, what do you mean exactly? Do you mean this code here?

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

or were you referring to something else?
