One of the few disadvantages of Joomla is the ugly URLs. I have pondered this for a while and thought, why not redirect your pages to a pretty url. Is there any disadvantages to doing this?
Use your .htaccess file and joomlas built in rewrite ability or an SEO plug in. It's actually pretty easy. Example: http://www.internetmarketingiq.com/web-design-hosting/79-software-scripts.html what is ugly about that?
