That's what I'm using. It took me a while to get around to using mod_rewrite, 
but it does make for much clearer URLs.

I was having some issues with submitting comments. I think it was related to 
whether people came to my site with a URL without the www. I ended up 
changing my comment-form.html to hard-code the base URL as below

<form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/pyblosxom.cgi/$file_path"

That seems to work.

Good luck.
