Mango supports friendly URLs out of the box, but those still contain the .cfm extension. Mango also allows you to change the URL of your posts, pages and archives. That requires a URL rewriting engine. Adam Tuttle has posted a guide on how to setup URL rewriting to create friendly URLs for Mango, without the .cfm extension using Ionic's ISAPI rewrite.

MechanisM,
I think the rules are almost identical. You can try these too:

I wrote a quick blog post about adding short URLs for blog posts to Mango Blog using Apache and mod_rewrite.

Sorry - bad link. Lost some credibility there, no doubt :-)

Though it's almost identical content, I also added an article on how to use ISAPI_Rewrite 3.0 to rewrite the URLs instead of Iconic's rewrite filter. It can be found here as well: http://www.visual28.com/articles/friendly-urls-with-isapi-rewrite
