I've created a category, wrote some articles, and added them to the category.

I want it so that when a user clicks on the "Electronics" link, he will get http://example.com/electronics/ and NOT http://example.org/taxonomy/term/1. Is there any way to hide this taxonomy linking look so my website can look fairly navigational?

I'm a little wet behind the ears with Drupal so don't take this as absolutely correct but..

I believe you need to have the path.module enabled. Then you can manually set the URL alias for each piece you publish at the time you publish it - look for the field labelled URL Alias on the same form you use to create your content.

SO if you wanted the piece to be found under

http://example.com/electronics/

then you'd enter "electronics" in the URL alias field and Drupal will take care of the rest.

I have the same issue with breadcrumbs using home/taxonomy/ instead of the clean url's I had set up.

Still trying to find a workaround for this issue.

true, but that is for pages/stories you publish.

All of them already do -- I want my taxonomy grouping URL to have clean URLs. So if I add all my articles to the "Electronics" category, then click the "Electronics" link after an article title, I get a clean link, not like the one I posted in the first post.

Look under administer -> 'url aliases'
Given a path like taxonomy/term/8 you can alias to say silver (or what ever you want)
