Previously, my individual posts were displayed by pulling them out of the database and producing them “on the fly.” The one major draw-back to that is that Google doesn’t seem to like indexing files more than once. So individual posts never seemed to get archived. I’ve changed, however, to a “published” archive format, where each archive has it’s own file. I’ve also moved all of the archive related functions into a separate directory. This might not mean a damn thing to anyone, but it does mean that old permalinks have changed — they should be backwards compatible, though.
It also means that something may be broken. If you find such a thing, please let me know. Thanks!
Dude! I am so not going back and fixing links. So.
snicker It\’s alright… the journal.php links will still work — it just redirects to the appropriate archive.
Let me see if I understand this correctly…
You\’re changing the archive format so that Google will capture them and (presumably) send more traffic over your way.
Since when does Pete care about his popularity?
Well, there were other reasons too, like server load for when I become a megastar — can\’t have all of those entries served right out of the DB, of course…
The reason I want google to index me is because I get a kick out of watching my search referrals.
Are you planning to hard code the comments into the archived entries? If you are, I think it would be a lot of fun to comment something along the lines of \”PAM ANDERSON SUCKING ON A LOLIPOP\”. That stuff makes google happy.
I intend for the entries to show comments and trackbacks eventually… so I\’m sure that comment WILL make google smile.
Well… eventually is here. Now they\’re inline. Nifty, eh?
