Is there any way to make the URL of each Umbraco page editable after it has been created? Wordpress is an example of how this would ideally work: it auto-creates the URL based off the page name, but then allows you to edit it.
Yes, you can do this by adding a "special" property called umbracoUrlName to your document type. If you fill this out, it will use your entry for the page's URL, otherwise it sticks with the default auto-generated one.
Usually you would add this and the other "special" properties to your "Master" document type so they are available on every page.
See this wiki article for more information and you can also see the other special fields on the right.

It looks like this property is built in to document types as of V5 alpha 1, so hopefully in V5 this step won't be needed.
