If you have an active Drupal site with lots of new content, the pager links at the bottom of each view (…?page=2) will eventually create a lot of extra URLs that will be added to your Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). The standard Google search website has no problem handling these extra URLs. However, if you want your site content to be indexed in a way that is usable by the SF State

The #main div of the webtemplate can be touchy when it comes to the CSS clear property. To overcome this issue with DISQUS v4, use the Narcissus theme and add the following Custom CSS (Login &gt; Settings &gt; Appearance): #dsq-new-post div, .dsq-clearfix:after, #dsq-form-area div {clear: none!important;} .dsq-popup[id] {top:0!important;} /*Make bottom of login box visible*/ .dsq-login-box {

In my opinion, the SFSU Google search result pages could benefit from a few layout adjustments. In the interest of a motivating some attention to this critical area, I created a small stylesheet patch. To test, add the stylesheet to your browser then visit SFSU Google. Current SFSU Google pageissuesTable borders around empty elements. Page title links could be more visible. Spacing between
