Thread: Creating Virtual Directory(s) - mod_rewrite for HTML pages

Hi,

I'm building a new site in html and would like to implement a hierarchy of content. However I have no idea how to do this.

I believe it can be done in the .htaccess file. Have searched for topics and tried getting my head around it but being noobish I get lost and confused quickly.I'm hoping someone here can either point me in the right direction or give me some simply straight forward examples of how to implement this.

Examples of what I'm trying to do:

black-cats.html would covert to yyyhttp://www.mydomain.com/pets/cats/black-cats.html

black-dogs.html would covert to yyyhttp://www.mydomain.com/pets/dogs/black-dogs.html

Although I could use a CMS it's not going to be a large site and using a CMS would be overkill, besides I'd have to design a theme and that's another issues all in itself...lol

If you can give me some help on this I'd appreciate it, thanks.
