Test post, barryk.org

This blog has a new URL, barryk.org/blog. First test post.

Actually, I copied the blog, and the old one at puppylinux.com/blog is still running. Next step is to figure out how to do some URL-rewriting to redirect to the new blog.

Redirect
Username: BarryK
No, not URL-rewriting, it needs a URL-redirect. I put this into .htaccess in the root directory: [i]Redirect puppylinux.com/blog http://barryk.org/blog[/i] ...yep, seems to work! The new URL has an ultra-simple page: http://barryk.org/

Not working yet

"I celebrated too soon. A full URL like this does not redirect: http://bkhome.org/archive/blog2/200910/quirky-idea-1-works.html

Redirect now works

"Seems to be, anyway. I put a .htaccess inside the old 'blog' directory (and removed the previous one): [i]Redirect /blog http://barryk.org/blog[/i]

bkhome.org

"I also registered "bkhome.org" -- haven't decided which one is best yet. Yesterday, "barryk.org" seemed best, today the opposite. I think the more impersonal domain name is better. Note, it's incredible what is already taken. barryk.com, barryk.net are taken, as are bkhome.com and bkhome.net.

"Am sure the barrykauler domains are all available. Don't hesitate about being too personal, as it's a personal domain. :) For example, BK = Burger King (to many people). Wish you all the best!
