Site Tweaking
Originally posted on Sunday, October 16, 2005
The canonical URL for this site has always been http://operalover.tntluoma.com/8/.
Tonight I changed it to http://operalover.tntluoma.com/
Why?
Well, because there’s a lot of stuff here that probably won’t change to much in the future. it’s not tied to a particular version of Opera. (In fact I’ve been looking back at some of the material from the Opera6 and Opera7 Lover series and realize there’s a lot of stuff there which is still valid for Opera8).
So, I’ve changed it.
Now I would have liked to have set it up with mod_rewrite so that anyone who came to /8/some_path_here would automatically get sent to /some_path_here instead, but mod_rewrite hurts my head, makes my eyes bleed, and causes grey stuff to seep from my ears (the good news is that the grey stuff tastes yummy on a cracker).
If anyone knows mod_rewrite and would be willing to help, please let me know. All of the examples I found seemed to revolve around adding something to the URL, not taking it away. It looks to be especially tricky to redirect /8/ to / without screwing up /8/foo_bar to /foo_bar
