URL keywords
alt.title: keywords shouldn't be cryptic

I was confused. I thought the "URL to keyword" thing was a great idea. So I asked the nice people at Aeonity:

With the keyword-to-URL thing, I don't see a box that lets me enter my preferred keywords. It's using the subject as the default, and that's not what I want.

See, I like to use cryptic and/or punny titles. It's a habit learned in admiration of my local broadsheet, which seems to have a policy of using punny headlines whenever possible (although not for serious/tragic stories). So, if I do my usual title thing, the "keywords" in the URL will not be keywords at all, just a mashed-up version of the title. So, hrm, I think, I'm gonna change stuff around and use my custom field as the actual title and the "title" field as my keywords thingy. Yeah. Now, it's great I can do this, but it doesn't exactly work for everyone else.

Other thing - what happens if you edit a post and decide to change the title? Methinks it breaks the permalink of the URL. Anyway, the nice people at Aeonity had this to say:

We removed the Keyword-URL because it was a feature that was redundant and
not used by the developers of aeonity in any part of the site.

Okay, people, fair enough. But if it's not a feature any more, please either remove it from the FAQ or else modify what that item says, because at the moment it's misleading.

So, um, yeah. The story so far. *grins*

If you go to the template page. Just select basic. Then hit 'use this template'. Then if you go back to the same page, the source code should be there. I'm okay with a majority of the coding. I just am inept at right aligning my text boxes. And perhaps getting just a single image instead of a repetition of said image. But I could probably do the latter. I'm just exhausted, so maybe tomorrow..

Similar thing to original post - there's a newish lippie I've been dying to have and recently I went to about a dozen shops in search of it and finally found it - or so I thought - at an overstock pharmacy. I took the tester to the counter and asked the assistant to get me one from wherever they kept them because there was only the tester on the shelf (typical - the thing I want to buy is the only one that's not there). The woman looked in like 6 drawers and finally announced they didn't have any. I pointed out it was thus stupid to have the tester out, getting people's hopes up. Then I stormed out. Grrrr.
