[2.x] URL

My b2evolution Version: 2.x

Hello. I just launched my niece's blog tonight. http://itsajaimething.com. I'd like to simplify the URL, so when links are clicked, they go to:
http://itsajaimething.com/beauty/ (for example)
instead of http://itsajaimething.com/index.php/beauty/

I'd like to loose the 'index.php' part in the url.

I believe it has something to do with .htaccess?? I try to open that file, but my software won't allow me to edit it. I'm on a mac, using Dreamweaver. I tried just a simple text editor, but no luck.

Is that the correct file to edit? If so, how can I open it.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you! I just finished giving that a try and didn't have any luck. I appreciate the link though.

Can you post the content of your .htaccess file here?
Also make sure you changed the blog's Absolute URL to "http://itsajaimething.com/"

Here's the code. I did switch the absolute URL, I just double checked it again, no luck.
