/* So to generate these stupid seo links..

0. ---- make everything direct access urls 
1. ---- Give the htacccess for download
2. ---- give them seourls.php 
3. check for file_exists of seourls.php, if true, include the file
4. Create if statements if function exists) that change article links across the site  (rightside, index, category, search, profile)
