It doesn't seem to break anything, but on my site it made all the pages off the main menu (e.g. What's Cool etc.) have no title, name, or keywords META tags at all. I see that it did this on your site too but you added meta tags to add.html and you don't use the other links (although the pages resolve if you know the URL).

Going off of the "Browse" page, it does add the category name to the title, keywords, & description. The URL remains the same (I know there was no claim that it could change the URL).

Although it doesn't seem to be 100% perfect, I'd say it's an improvement for both SEO and bookmarking purposes. If there's a way to make the meta data appear on those other pages, that would be great.

THANKS!

p.s. you can also add more global text to your <Title> tags after the cat name, e.g.:

<title>YOUR SITE TITLE <? echo get_cat($PID) ?> MORE TEXT HERE</title>

So, for example, mine is:

<title>John Nasta Photography - <? echo get_cat($PID) ?> Links</title>

HMMM... I uploaded the new link check code then went to my admin and got an error message and couldn't log in. For now I have had to go back to my original directory and functions.php. Need to stick to replacing one thing at a time so that if problems arise it's easier to figure out what is causing them.

I like this code though and will try it again after the link check issue is fully put to bed.

Yes, I don't know enough about how to make the urls spit out the category names but if you read the article I mentioned in my earlier reply, it says that the way the URLs show now as numbers works well as they are clean and easy to spider...

QUOTE:
...A major goal in SEO'ing your PHP pages, is to make them look and act like static pages. If you have a large site you can use Apache to fake static looking URLs...One of the major problems most webmasters have with getting their dynamic pages to index is URL cleanliness... a great advantage to using dynamic pages as opposed to static pages is the ability to create content that is constantly changing and updated in real time...randomly circulating content and other automatically ?fresh? content can boost your ranks in Google, and many other engines. Another advantage to using PHP is that you can make simple modifications to many scripts to create relevant and fresh page titles. Since this is the most important on page factor in SEO special attention should be given to creating title tags that accurately reflect the page?s current content.

As far as the code, it is pretty much customized for my site, maybe it needs more tweeking??

I will try your code again but something made my admin blow up and the error message said something about functions.php, so I assume it had something to do w/ the code that I transplanted there and I put it back to the original way for now.

I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to check on this.. I don't always have a pristine installation to test on.. in fact I never do

If you copy/paste the error, and then indicate which line # it refers to, I should be able to spot what PHP is complaining about...
