I’ve been hacking Drupal a bit and enabled human-friendly hyperlinks. Drupal stores all its pages as ‘nodes’, with a unique number. This makes it really hard for people to understand links before clicking on them, and also means search engines can’t index pages properly. So now if you click on things in my main site you’ll see more useful names for the hyperlinks.

This is done using the User Aliases module, URL rewriting, and the pathauto module.

I have also done this to my huge photo archive. This archive is every single photo I’ve ever taken, neatly organised by the place it was taken. It’s hosted off my own server in my house, across my ADSL line so don’t expect amazing speeds.
