The infamous htaccess rewrite

ben.herman — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 19:22:08 +0000

I decided put together a few example of rewrites that I use and like. BEWARE!!! Editing the htaccess file is not for the faint of heart. Making one small edit that incorrectly rewrites, or redirects, or changes any URL could kill your search engine rankings, and make your webmastering life miserable. Make sure you understand what you are doing, and test throughly. Be sure that no matter what no two URLs can access the same page, and make sure that any old URLs redirect to the new ones.
