Headspring

On a personal note: I recently joined Headspring Systems in Austin. I have been presented with a great opportunity to learn and succeed. I feel very green but I’m prepared to grow. And I’ve already had the chance to observe first-hand liberating architectures, agile thinking, and expert code craft…

I do intend to learn in public, so stay tuned.

Moving WordPress To Another Folder, .htaccess redirection for SEO

Matt — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 19:50:33 +0000

I moved the old stuff to mhinze.com/archive but I wanted to ensure that my links still worked.. for SEO and also for usability. So I got all the post slugs from the WordPress database and added them as redirects to /archive in .htaccess using sed. There’s probably a better way to do this but it was pretty easy.

[linux]$ mysql -u user -ppassword -h mysql.server.com -Be "select post_name from wp_posts" blogdatabase | sed 's/[a-zA-Z0-9\-]*$/Redirect 301 \/&\/ http:\/\/mhinze.com\/archive\/&/' > .htaccess.new [linux]$ cat .htaccess >> .htaccess.new [linux]$ mv .htaccess.new .htaccess

I’m not too worried about slug collisions – I think that’s a rare case that I’ll address as needed.

So now http://mhinze.com/nhibernate-composite-element-mapping/, for example, redirects to the correct post in /archive

Delicious Feed

I have suspended the daily feed of del.icio.us posts. You can still subscribe to the feed or add me to your del.icio.us network.

I have over 5000 links posted there, so you might want to take a look. You can learn a lot about a person by looking at their del.icio.us account.

I got tired of looking at the old blog, so I moved it here. I’ll edit the new template.
