Tweaking Wordpress mod_rewrite

Posted by: Aaron Brazell

If you use Wordpress to generate your Rewrite rules for clean URLs, make sure you add the following to the top of your RewriteConds or all external links will fail. Trust me, I just realized this when I clicked on commenter links and Apache thought I was conducting a seach for “something” within this blog.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^technosailor\.com [NC]

Obviously, change technosailor\.com to your own domain name. in the format of fully\.qualified\.domain\.name.

Translation: Look at the domain name and if it isn’t technosailor.com, then continue on with the rewrite rules which make Wordpress function with clean URLs. However, if it is the same, then go ahead and process the rules since we are apparently still at this blog.

    Twitter Pitch!

    <p>Twitter pitching is a form of pitch that requires succint "what does this mean for me" kind of pitching. It is the ultimate efficiency of words. You have 140 characters or less to tell me why your pitch matters to me or my readers. Please include a means of contacting you. This is included in your 140 characters. If you send successive pitches, you will likely be ignored, unless it's obvious that the first pitch was a case of "accidental send", etc.</p> <p>This form of pitching does not mean I'm being a diva. It means that my time is valuable, and you want a piece of it. It's good practice for you, and delivers your pitch in a format I want. Win-win.</p>
