创建虚荣URL

Question

I currently run a site where I want to give people the ability to make their own URLs. For example, here is my URL: http://www.hikingsanfrancisco.com/hiker_community/hiker_public_profile.php?community_member_id=2

You see, it is named just by id, which is uninteresting and also bad for SEO (not that it matters here).

Ideally I want my site members to also have their names in the URL. How is that typically done? So in my case, it would be something like: http://www.hikingsanfrancisco.com/alex-genadinik and have the id hidden.

Is that possible? Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks, Alex
