Hello -

I am trying to get my keyword in my url. Could I rewrite the website.com to website.com/keyword.html to get my keyword in it? It's basically a forum site so renaming the index.php wouldn't be a great idea.

Thanks

That's pretty easy to do in a .htaccess file - look at httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html (Apache module mod_rewrite ) although it always hurts my head to look at that file.
