New Site Design at GetPaid4Free.com!

UPDATE:
(12/01/2005) I figured out the problem and corrected it. I have SEF/UF URLs. YAY! I'll make a separate post with all of the details a little later. Just wanted to post that the new design is up.

(11/29/2005)
I tweaked generating SEF and UF URLs to the point where the entire site disappeared! The old site is back up. I'll include links to both so you can view the work in progress:

OK. I couldn't resist. After weeks of debating over changing the design of the site, I finally took the plunge. I wanted to switch from HTML to PHP and discovered a great way to accomplish this. Joomla! is a powerful Open Source Content Management System. It's easy to install, easy to use, and best of all...FREE. I'm excited about the upgraded features. Easily find the information you want and then print it, email it to your friends, or view as PDF. Also, adding content is a breeze. I'm having fun with the platform and I really like the new template.

Only one minor problem so far. The URLs generated are dynamic URLs (i.e. http://www.thenameofyoursite.com/index.php?option=blah, blah, blah). This is fine for navigation. It's possible to access everything on the site but search engines prefer static URLs. Joomla! has an option included that produces ones that are static and search-engine-friendly (SEF) but they are not very user-friendly (UF). I'm toying with the CoreSEF Hack that will generate URLs along the lines of:
"http://www.thenameofyoursite.com/faqs/faqs.html".
The hack gives me wonderful URLs but my server can't find them. I keeping getting 404 and 500 errors. I am still experimenting. If you visit and get an error page, please clear your cache and check back in a few minutes. There is an alternative solution to this. It's called SEF Advance but you have pay for the product. Since I'm all about getting stuff for FREE, I consider this an option of last resort.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Send me an email or post here if you have questions or comments about the new design.
