Time To Do Some Cleaning

The release of ExpressionEngine 1.4 got me looking at my template code again. I noticed that I could (and should) clean up the code a bit. I also want to polish up the look a bit. I like the layout still, but it’s missing something. Not sure what, but I’ll know it when I figure it out.

I also want to get rid of the “index.php” in my URLs. I’ve done it for a couple clients recently, and it really makes the URL easier to read.

And I should really get off my lazy ass and add the search feature. I’ll figure out where and how to add that soon too.

How do you clean up those url’s? The EE docs suggest messing
with htaccess.

Is there a separate hack? Drawbacks,precautions?
Hate to go all “Help me sysop” on you but this has got me miffed.

Editing your .htaccess file is definitely the way to go. It’s really quite easy to do.

The best example I’ve seen, and the one I’m using on my site and a couple of my clients’ sites, is listed here.
