Hi everyone, this is my first time post so apologies if I miss certain procedures out.

I'm taking over a clients website, which uses K2 in Joomla, (I'm primarily a Wordpress developer). Anyway, pagination results in URLs for the different pages looking like /itemlist?start=4, /itemlist?start=8, /itemlist?start=16 etc.

How can I make these appear in SEO friendly form ie. /2, /3, /4 or /page/2, /page/3, /page/4 etc?

Also, is there a way to add page placeholders to meta descriptions to make these different for pages?
