Add links to the article page

To make the spiders index the article.php page (i.e. the page that has the entire story text and not only the intro), it helps to make the story title a link to the actual story (in storytext.thtml and featuredstorytext.thtml):

a href="{article_url}" class="non-ul">{story_title} (inside of the normal brakets - but had to take those out to post this)

Since this would normally make the story title underlined, you can add this to your stylesheet (style.css):

.non-ul { text-decoration: none; }

You can also take this one step further and make the story's headline an actual headline by using the tag:

a href="{article_url}" class="non-ul">{story_title} (inside of the normal brakets - but had to take those out to post this)

Again, this may make the headline stand out too much (the effect depends on the theme you're using), so you may want to add this to your stylesheet:

h1 { font-size: 100%; display: inline; }

The CSS changes are only for the human visitors of your site - experiment with them to make the headline look good with your theme. The search engine spiders don't care about the CSS - but they are very interested in headlines and links ...
