Mavromatic Now Has Future Proof URLs

It seems like the latest trend in blogging is to use future proof URLs. Well, I spent some time talking to Mike Davidson and a few other co-workers as to why I should actually make the change. It turns out that there isn’t a good reason to have file extensions. You will now notice that the urls here at mavromatic no longer have an extension. This will make it easier to switch over to a different server scripting language in the future and the URLs won’t break when accessing the site via a search engine. It also helps a tiny bit with security, by obscuring which language I’m using. I’m still not too keen on changing the urls from an entry id to the title with under_scores. I don’t see any real compelling reason as to why I should make that change… but if you do, I’d like to hear why…
