Of the many things I've done this weekend, (lawn work, fiddling with site optimizations[[sitetree_link id=101]], packaging xulrunner applications for Macs[[sitetree_link id=104]], saving the planet...y'know, nothing too difficult) the thing that probably annoyed me the most, but had the biggest payoff (SEO-wise) was updating the site to SilverStripe 2.4. I apologize to anyone who may have stopped by (yes, I did see a number of 404's in the logs when I checked) this afternoon and gotten that message: my bad.

So, SilverStripe 2.4 (still in alpha at the time of this post) has introduced a new feature (and class) called "Site Config". This is huge, folks - on the level of discovering XRays huge (except without the radiation poisoning part - unless you're just that sloppy with your code, then, perhaps you deserve it).  My use for the SiteConfig class is to level the playing field with other CMS offerings like Joomla! and WordPress and allow users to change some (semi) static content within their sites, without having to come to me to update their templates.
