Simon has a new article up about quality news site URLs. I've been doing a lot of work here to convert URLs to something readable, including section links, gallery links, and other miscellanea. I've used a trick I picked up over at evolt.org that uses Apache and PHP to clean up my links. Makes things a lot cleaner. If you have access to Apache and PHP, I suggest using it to make your URLs that are really CGI requests look like simple, readable, memorable directories.
