New Nice Urls

The site now features nice urls, nice as in readable, for most content. This is supposedly really good for search engines and also it is way better for us humans to have a url that actually means something.

In Drupal this can be easily achieved with the pathauto module that depends on path and token modules. Easily, is of course relative

I've been putting this work off for a long time mainly because it requires you to think about how your site should be organized. This is actually quite hard, since your decisions tend to live for a long time. Also it involves a somewhat risky bulk update of the site and database. These things are always a bit scary to do.

My plan of attack was to use a test installation and make experiments on it, and then go live. I spent a few hours last night making the changes and it did take a while before I got the hang of it and found a structure that I was satisfied with.

Then came the live part ... actually things went great. The servers we are currently running on is way faster than my private dedicated setup, so the update was made in a few seconds. As of now all seems to work just fine. Yay!

And I did some updates to the pc video game list. You now got a small description and a download link readily available.
