    All these tips are crazy helpful when dealing with the creeps that happen, but more importantly, I understand that it will happen, BUT what can we do to prevent it from happening often?

    Thanks for this. I was actually looking for a simple way to make the sitemap urls Search engine friendly without having to use Sh404 or other additional components. Is that relatively easy to do, do you think?
