Something I forgot to mention yesterday was the other reason I prefer this URL:
http://www.jakehowlett.com/codestore/article/EPSD-5D6R6R/
to this one:
http://www.jakehowlett.com/codestore/article.php?unid=EPSD-5D6R6R
(both of which now work by the way) is that the former is more search-engine friendly. There is a lot of debate about whether Google indexes files with multiple query-string parameters. In fact Google themselves say that they don't like to index "dynamically generated" sites. So, if you use the former URL Google is none-the-wiser as to its origins. If it's going to get really fussy then we could even create URLs like this:
/codestore/articles/EPSD-5D6R6R.html
You'd never know ;o)
To leave you with something useful for the weekend here's a nice piece of CSS from Simon Willison. And asa Hope you all have good weekends....
