WordPress Fun

WordPress is becoming quite a favorite amongst online publishers. Since MovableType decided to go commercial WordPress has been gaining ground ever since. And c'mon, who really ever liked "generating pages".

After moving to WordPres, I was worried about all my indexes on Google. I found this nice script to redirect all my MoveableType links to my WordPress posts. It also sends search engines a 301 error telling the search engines that the page has moved permanently so they can rewrite their indexes. I modified this script a tiny bit to work for Monthly Archives rather than posts.
