Well-designed URLs are definitely one of the vital aspects to a good, usable, workable, and friendly web — but they’re very often ignored by developers. Part of this is likely people’s adherence to technology systems and CMSes that don’t allow them to easily structure their URLs any way they like. So stop using those systems! :)

    Thanks for the link!

    Since finding your site in my referrals, I’m taken the liberty of using some of your content at WellDesignedUrls.org’s wiki here: http://wiki.welldesignedurls.org/Django to show how to configure URLs for Django, with appropriate attribution to your Django for non-programmers article, of course. (I hope you don’t mind…)

    BTW, your live comment preview is TOTALLY COOL!

    Seems like the link is broken?

    Vernon: Not broken, just a problem at my ISP. It’s up now.
