Most web developers will agree that use of Ajax has helped enrich the average users experience when it is implemented properly. But that often is not the case, with many developers making the wswitch over to Ajax it is all too often over used or used in ways which absolutely do not warrant its use.

This information will work with just about all 3rd party search engine friendly URL extensions for Joomla.
You should see the something similar to the following code in your .htaccess file(htaccess.txt if you haven't yet renamed it) - if not, make sure you've installed joomla properly, and enabled SEF from global configuration settings. Comment out the first half (from 'Begin - Joomla! core SEF Section' to 'End - Joomla! core SEF Section'). (all #'s in front of commands).
The second half (for third party) should be uncommented. Mine looked like this, and most installations should work with this code. Feel free to copy and paste it over what you have for your SEF section, but remember to backup the file. Finally, upload the new .htaccess file. (note, if you haven't set your FTP program to view hidden files you will not be able to see this file)

If you are attempting to use custom error pages in your Joomla app, and are getting headaches in trying... then welcome to the club. I spent a solid day attempting to do this, and ran into a number of problems with both my host and Joomlas implementation. There are a number of forum threads about this very subject, but none end with a conclusive answer. So this post is merely an attempt to save others from wasting their days on doing the same.
I configured the SEO portion at the same time since it is really easy once you have it installed. Make sure that you have renamed your htaccess.txt file to just .htaccess (you may have to configure your FTP client and/or operating system to view hidden/system files.

As a kid when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always answered 'rich'. It seemed logical, since the people that I was supposed to look up to all had one thing in common, they were rich (or at least richer than I was). So upon finding out that the richest man in the world got that way by developing software, my career path was set, especially since I had already fallen in love with computers by that age. I'm sure I'm not alone in that story, but that is how I got into this business.
What does this have to do with the article? Well, this article is about the series of choices a successful site owner must face. So whether you already own a successful website, or some hope to someday, stick around as I hope that some of the choices I was faced with can help you.
