Masking subdirectories and pages for my website

I want to mask some of the subdirectories and pages for my website. For example:

I want to change www.example.com/blog.php?post=post1

to www.example.com/blog

or something similar to that. I have seen examples about redirecting and such but that doesn't seem to work for what I want and I would like to stay away from iframes if possible. I just want the address bar to not reflect my internal directory structure and page names. I want it to keep showing /blog while they are moving from post to post. Thanks.

P.S. I am not using wordpress or any other CMS or blogging system.

You can use apache mod_rewrite for that.

Mod Rewrite Generator

And if You don't want to have the same url on blog-post/article change, but to display different content, all I can think of this moment is by using either POST method or browser cookies, but, that would require a lot of page reloads, and it simply is not recommended for wide use. If You are building per_se (one person only) panel or similar, than url doesn't matter that much, but, speaking of blog..

It is quite reasonable to hide .php extension or url query index/key, but not what You would like to accomplish.

Like I said, it is possible, but Luke .. don't do that. Blog should be bookmarkable on each and every @stop, and that happens just because of unique urls and hash values. Without these two, no hyperlinking possible *(not to mention seo penals and flaws + dozen of other unwanted obstacles, page caching for instance).
