So I finally figured out how to use Arguements in Views without breaking the view!
So I wanted a clean URL to a View which displayed all nodes for a particular vocabulary. without arguments the working URL is
www.rufdesigns.com/vocabulary/3
where 3 represents the vocabulary ID
I wanted to something simpler like:
www.rufdesigns.com/drupal
Edit the view and in the Page section set the URL the way you want it to look:
URL: drupal
In the Arguments section, add an argument to support all of the nodes associated with a vocabulary item:
Add Argument = Taxonomy: Vocabulary ID
Click Add Argument
Still in the Arguments section, set
Default = Display All Values
then when you go to the URL: www.rufdesigns.com/drupal/ it displays the page version of my view.
