I have a simple question. The default URL structure after installation is www.site-url.com/node/1 etc. How can I change the URL's so that, for instance, the About Us page is www.site-url.com/about instead of .../node/1 etc

Thanks.

the page should have a set url option when you edit it. you may need to enable the path module

You can also use the path auto module to automatically assign a path on a variety of criteria including title.

Where in Admin can I change existing urls, for instance, www.site-url.com/node/1 to www.site-url.com/about? Thanks.

Hi there,

Thats very easy. Go to Administer > modules and make sure that you have core module "Path" enabled. After that whever you create a node you will see an option URL Path Settings. Enter the desired alias there.

Just like I am having on my sites

If you want this to happen on a pattern like for every blog node you have /blog/abc to be given automatically, try Pathauto module. But if you are concerned about SEO, do not forget to check out the Global Redirect module. Having aliases and not redirecting from original path e.g. node/1 node/2 to their aliases can be bad for SEO.
