Can I use SEF?
I put my site on an account I bought from myself, I'm using Joomla!....is SEF an option for me? I did try turning it on and it did not work. I looked around, found some instructions and still no cigar. Any clues?
Thanks!
Thanks!

What you need is the htaccess.txt file on your server /Joomla root/
Create a text file on your desktop /htaccess.txt/, copy and paste the below text and when ready, overwrite with FTP the one you already have in Joomla root. Then rename it to .htaccess and when you refresh the remote FTP, this file will be gone. Nothing to worry about. Now, go to your Joomla admin and under config, change for SEF / last TAB and Save.

Big Time Thanks Arthur!
Hey I just followed yoiur directions and am looking golden now. Thank you for the help with that!
Just as an aside...great work on your own site. Your SoloIt.com site was and still is an inspiration to me in designing and modeling my own. I wish you nothing but the best sir!
