EG Permalink Changes
March 21, 2007 – 4:00 amIf you're new here, I suggest you subscribe to my RSS feed. or bookmark this blog. You'll be able to easily keep up to date with new posts. Thanks for visiting!
I know I’m shooting myself in the foot by changing the way permalinks are structured yet again. In addition to the first permalink changes resulting from my move from blogger this has created a slew of visitors who hit 404 pages. Although I try to list the popular posts on the 404 page and have a search form to remedy this.
I promise this will be the last change to the permalink structure. I just feel that my blog is still in a relatively young stage (this blog turns 1 year old in May) and if I’m going to make those changes, I might as well do them now.
So why did I change the permalink structure?
First let me show you the differences:
Under the old permalink structure, posts would be formatted as such:
endlessgibberish.com/year/month/day/postname/
The newer permalink structure I’ve chosen is simply
endlessgibberish.com/postname/
I feel that endlessgibberish.com, although I love the domain, is relatively long. Shaving off the year, month, and day off permalinks shortens the url a bit. It’s basically a personal preference.
