Here I have another question!
the website I am working on is not search engine friendly now.
I have about 500 articles in it. and it is gonna be more than 2000 as members would continually submit articles. Now I wanna make this site SEF. also when I enable SEF option links are gone and they mostly do not work. I want to use jmsitemap for it and hope would help. what do you think if I use that component will I have any problems and also will I need to change anything in htacces.txt file and any other possible surprises for me and any other thing I need to know.
Your help is appreciated.

Is your site loaded to the root, or in a folder within the htaccess or public-html folder?
If its in a folder, you need to change the # RewriteBase / to reflect the path of your site.
Change:
# RewriteBase /
to:
RewriteBase /(the name of the folder joomla is in) - Thanks,
jim
