Tom,


    | Hi, I have this URL:
    | http://www.thywordistruth.net/articles/article.asp?aid=70
    |
    | I thought there was a way to make this a 'friendly'
    | url..or am I missing something? Like a permanent bookmark..


By "friendly URLs",  I am not sure if you meant --

1. "Search engine friendly" URLs which do not have
url.com?variable=1&variable=2 ...etc because search engines do not index
such URLs. In this case, there is a good article at SitePoint
(http://www.promotionbase.com/article/485).

or

2. Something more of a URL snipper like http://snipurl.com which makes
your URLs "persistent" and shorter. Check out a features list at
http://snipurl.com/features.php and let me know if that is the
"permanent" feature you were looking for.

Hope this was useful,
Shashank
