Need help getting user friendly URL

Question

I trying to get a user friendly URL.

My current link is this:
http://www.norwegianfashion.no/designers/?designer=Batlak-og-Selvig&bid=9
What I want is this
http://www.norwegianfashion.no/designers/Batlak-og-Selvig/

What do I need to do in order to get this URL? Anything I can do in .htaccess file?

Update
I'm using Wordpress which has it's own permalink structure. I'm not sure if it's possible to add URL-rewrite?

I'm also looking at this link: http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/guide-url-rewriting/2 , but I'm not very succesfull.

Answer 1

Depending on how you set it up, you could use the post name for the permalink. So, in the admin area of wordpress, you'd go to Pemalinks, and use a custom one. Then, type in %postname% in the input box, and that'll create the permalink by post. So, if you create a new page/post called "Test", the url would be - norwegianfashion.no/Test

Answer 2

I do this with the htaccess file in a very similar way to get rid of the question mark using a RewriteRule. Hopefully someone can chime in with a better answer but the format I use on my site is:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?PAGE=$1 [L,QSA]
