Hello,
I've managed to configure joomsef to produce the links that i want. However, i still get some undesired urls. Let me explain:

For an article 'sampleArticle' that lies on the homepage, I produce the desired url which is:

www.mydomain.com/sampleArticle

However, joomsef also creates articles like this:

www.mydomain.com/homepage/blog/page-1
www.mydomain.com/homepage/page-1

where 'homepage' is the category of the article.

I would appreciate some help on this. Thank you.
