Updated URLs

Posted in To Do List at 7:57 am by Chris

I’ve recently made a change in the URL paths for all of my posts, adding on the .php extension. My hope is that this will increase bot-traffic throughout my site. However, this also means that I need to update .htaccess in a few places, to make sure that the old URLs aren’t completely toasted.

    And, why exactly would you do something like that?

    What search index worth caring about would actually rank a .php better than a cool uri without any implementation cruft?

    I’m a total loss to understand the logic of this move.

    Truth be told, it could very well be entirely in my head. Extensions on locations that aren’t directories make more sense to me.

    Okay, so it seemed to make little difference if I added the file extension. I’ve undid this change. (Fickle, eh?) Sorry. I’ll do a little more research on stuff like this before I tackle it in the future. Or at least know mod_rewrite enough to be able to handle the stuff that goes missing.
