Pathauto
I installed the Drupal module pathauto tonight. I have it set up to automatically add the title of a node to the URL. So what was once
http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/1959
is now
http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/1959/care-and-feeding-sourdough-starter
One very nice thing is that either URL will continue to work. The longer URLs are nicer when you are trying to figure out what node a comment is on and are also nicer for search engines, the shorter are nicer when you are typing them in.
I don't think any exist URLs should have broken, but if you notice any that have please let me know.
Mmm... wait, no nevermind. I guess I blew up the navigation. Will get that fixed ASAP. Sorry about that. Fixed.
That is a nice addition!
