Re: Web page help please

Hi Tim,

You're looking for url rewriting if you want the url to remain as /links or
redirection if you really want them to go to links.html

I'd use rewriting, visitors shouldn't have to care about things like file
extensions and it fits the 'url as the ui' school of usability.

Cheers

Andy
