Squeaky-Clean URLs

Thursday July 31st, 2008

Starting tonight, zachmargolis.com has clean URLs for archive posts and tags. Wait, huh?

Well if you want to view post number 56, instead of going to zachmargolis.com/archive.php?postid=56 you can go to the much more user-friendly zachmargolis.com/archive/56. It's definitely not a revolution, but this is my first run-in with Apache's mod_rewrite functions.

Starting tonight, the RSS feed will also use these new URLs. I decided not to go back and re-link all of the legacy posts on the RSS file because then readers would see 20 or so brand new posts that are actually recycled, because of the way RSS feeds are marked as new or old.
