I need to be able to customize the URL of my pages. I read a few examples using fields like Umbraco URL Name and Umbraco URL Alias but none of these automatically installed. Is this something I have to add manually and if so, how?
You'll want to manually add these properties to the Document Type(s) you wish to use them on. Typically you will have a "Master" Document Type that all of your document types inherit from. This is a good place to add these properties so they will be available on all pages.
There is a list of these "special" properties here in the wiki - (see links on right).
The umbracoRedirect and umbracoInternalRedirect ID should be added as Content Pickers, and umbracoNaviHide as a Checkbox (true/false), the rest should be Textstrings. You'd add the properties by editing a document type and using the Generic Properties tab.
For an example, check out the project Master DocType Template which includes all of these fields. You can import this by right-clicking Document Types and clicking Import. There's also a screenshot and a blog post there which might help put it in prespective. Also most of the Starter Kits will have these already added.
URL Name, URL Alias, etc.

Add them to the document type properties (under settings -> document types)
Add what to the document type properties?
textstring umbracoUrlName, text string umbracoUrlAlias, true/false umbracoNaviHide etc

Thank you!
