mod_rewrite pagination urls

[TylerB]

I am rewriting all of the messy URL's on my site and I am having trouble rewriting URL's with pagination queries added to them.

I would like to do 1 rewrite rule for all pagination URL's (jobs and blogs) but as of right now I am only worried about getting it working.

The initial pagination query looks like this: blog.php?page=2 OR opportunities.php?page=2 I would LIKE them to look like this /blog/page/2 AND opportunities/page/2 but everything I've tried doesn't seem to work... The Rewrites WORK when I make them look like /blog-page/2 AND /opportunities-page/2 but I would like them to have a slash rather than a dash.

Here are ALL my current rewrites... the ones that need work are at the bottom. (blog pagination and opportunities pagination)
