This tutorial will cover installation and use of the OpenSEF component.

SEF = "Search Engine Friendly". The OpenSEF component creates easy-to-read URLs.

A URL is a web page address. (URL = "Uniform Resource Locator")

Right now, our new Joomla site has URLs that look like this:

http://www.nycircuits.com/index.php?option="com_content"&task="view"&id="12"&Itemid="26"

We'd like the above URL to look more like

http://www.nycircuits.com/about_xsl.htm

OpenSEF allows us to create these "Search Engine Friendly" URLs.

OpenSEF can be found at www.open-sef.org.
