ok basically i have a website, for example:

website.com

i want to create a new page, for example page.html, and i want my visitors to be able to type in:

website.com/page

and get to the page. instead of them having to type in:

website.com/page.html

i was told that i can do this via mod_rewrite and a .htaccess file. i googled but im really confused and it looks like you have to ALREADY know what the hell you are doing in order to code this. could someone help me?

thanks a lot!

    //EDIT: After a little more research and testing, I found the following and it seems to work: 
    RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)?$ /$1.html [R=301,L]
    Let me know if it works.
