Hi Thank you so much for helping me. My goal definitely is to rank high and do well in the search engine and im surprised that i was missing out on such important aspect and I did went ahead and created permalink, but now have few questions regarding that.

For now I just set up the category temporarily just to make sure i know how to do it, and if u see my site you will see that i made the change for the "figure oil painting techniques" post, so now its domainname/figure-painting/figure-oil-painting-techniques, and "figure painting" got included in the menu. My question now is if I should pick a profitable keyword(good demand,low supply) for the cartegory name i create or if it can be just anything. "figure painting" i dont think is very profitable keyword.

I was also wondering if its possible to use a word for a category then use different word for the menu for that category,For example ,use "oil painting" for category but on the menu bar for that category would read "portraits"

The new pages i want to create that I want on the menu bar, I do not want the date and comments or anything that would make it look like a post to a blog,( i want them to be like the "about" page) But i dont want to get rid of dates/comments for the whole site but just a few pages.

So if it is impossible to do the "add new pages" feature and get it on the menu bar, please let me know how can add some new posts without the date/comments etc. Also I wouldn't want them to be included in the home page within the blogs.

So my overall objective besides just sharing my passion and providing good content, is to make that site rank well with the search engine so I can get lots of free traffic.

Thank you so much again and if you ever happen to have any more suggestions it will always be greatly appreciated
