ASP SEO friendly URLs

One of the down sides to ASP is not being able to make SEO friendly URLs with out the need for server components. PHP can do with use of the .htaccess file. When ASP was first thought up by Microsoft the need for SEO friendly URLs wasn’t high on the list of needs. SEO wasn’t what it is today, a key to making a site successful. With the introduction of the .NET platform saw the end of development on the ASP platform. Which left web developers in a tight spot, either they install a server component (example: custom or pre built ISAPI filters) or they had to find creative ways to get around this issue.

I installed the Netcraft tool bar earlier this week. I was having some issues with spamming on this site so I was using the tool bar to find out where these IPs and websites where hosted. And I was checking other blogs for new posts and I was shocked at the Risk Ratings Netcraft have given to sites on my blog roll. So I have decided to get a list together of the sites on my blog roll and their risk rating. Irish Developer has a risk rating of 0. Which is the best.

New moblie, can’t decide!

I have decided to get a new mobile phone this week. I have a Nokia N70 and anyone who has or had an N70 will know all about the problems with it. If I’m not getting phone calls, it is restarting its self. Now I have always been a big fan of Nokia, most of all the Nokia N-Series. But before my N70 I was on a V3 Razr kick, but that is over!

After attending Eoin O’Dell’s talk yesterday Law of Blogs at BarCamp Dublin, I thought I would add him to my blogroll. It was a very interesting talk and he cleared up a lot of miss understandings of blogging as far as laws go. Eoin’s blog is well worth a look.
