How to make your Joomla site use SEO friendly urls

Basically so that you can set all those SEO settings in the global configuration tab to YES.

Note: you need the permissions to rename the file ("htaccess.txt" to ".htaccess" in your website root folder). You'll need ftp access or a file manager with all your website files in).  Do not continue if you ONLY have control of the Joomla CMS.

Joomla - How to preview module positions in a given template

I was asked "... how do you find out where the positions are, like USER 1 and TAB 4 etc..."

e.g. http://joellipman.com/index.php?tp=1&template=rt_affinity_j15
Or watch this boring video I made showing you how to do it:
