Clean URLs in 1.0

Astute visitors will notice that we’ve started to implement clean URLs on AtomicGamer 1.0. These actually work very much like the ones that I discussed in my previous post on Optional, But Enforced Parameters. We just decided to do this feature in the current code instead of waiting for 2.0.

So, instead of /article.php?id=919, you can hit /articles/919/dragon-age-origins-xbox-360-review, but the article name is entirely optional. It doesn’t matter much to our visitors, of course, but it should help with search engine optimization.

Traditionally, we’ve kept AtomicGamer and TeleFragged as a black box to our visitors, you. We simply did stuff in the background and it would magically show up on AtomicGamer. We’ve rarely catered or explained ourselves to you all.

I want to change that.

Few people know or care about the inner workings of AtomicGamer. To most people, it’s your run-of-the-mill gaming website. They get their downloads, read a couple reviews, and leave. But I know there must be people that have been following us since we were TeleFragged and started in 1997. We really do want to hear from you.

So, I’m starting this blog to get feedback and suggestions from you. I don’t expect a rush. I also be posting programming-related comments as I struggle with some new feature.

Welcome to AtomicGamer! Go post a comment. Assuming I’ve got Wordpress configured correctly.
