All My FAQs revisited

[Alan J. Flavell]

Do both!

Good point. I've set up a rewrite that redirects all requests on the
.org domain (with 301)

Good call.

to the .net domain.

It's not my domain to choose, so I won't say anything one way or the
other about your choice of primary name; but be sure to promote the
one that you chose, and keep quiet about the others. That way,
they'll capture any strays who hit the alternative sitenames, but
won't unnecessarily dilute the site's ranking, as I understand it.

I'd say don't bother doing anything. Nobody reads it.

What cave you been living in?

 

[Stan Brown]

By the way, in terms of Google, there are 4 domains we're dealing with:

http://allmyfaqs.net/
http://allmyfaqs.org/
http://www.allmyfaqs.net/
http://www.allmyfaqs.org/

I'd say, pick one of the four, promote that one (and only that one), and
discourage the use of all others.

Is there any harm to publicizing the canonical one, and having the
server send out redirects for the others? IIRC, that will be search-
engine friendly.

Be kind! My first house was a cave upon whose walls I painted many a
centerfold.

And I didn't even know one could fold stone. Sometimes I feel so
out of touch.

Yeah, sadly stone nowadays isn't made like back in the old days, *sigh*

You should have seen the origami people made out of granite.

With their bare hands, mind.

Believe it or not, I was thinking about stone origami when I wrote
my reply.

They were a hardy lot.

Yesterday, I received the backup files of AllMyFAQs.com from Jerry
Muelver himself, just so I could get a version up and running.

The following two URLs point to the exact same location, so just use
the one you feel most comfortable with.

I had to make a few changes to make it work somewhat properly (it's now
read-only, and the "page index" link points to the .net domain above).

Why is this? Are you still working on getting the edit facility to work
properly, or what?

According to the Internet Wayback Machine, the site hasn't been updated
since January 2003, so I thought it wasn't necessary to enable the
editing module quite yet. The way I see it, the integrity of the
current site is fine as it is. There aren't many corrections needed to
be done, and I might as well make these changes myself based on input
from visitors and newsgroup posters (with fact-checking, of course).

Pondering the eternal question of "Hobnobs or Rich Tea?", Kim André
Akerø finally proclaimed:

Well it's wrong... The page I asked you to remove said that I was still
at Uni, but I actually updated that page to say something else after I
had finished (last year).

The reason for this is because when we were hosting it, we discovered that
the script used to power the site was insecure. It was allowing anyone,
with malicious intent, to run code that could bring down the server. Patch
the script and you should be fine.

Evening Mrs P. Hope you had a fab turkey day. Hope all is well with you
and your latest ventures.

Ah, well. I was planning on rewriting the entire solution behind the
site at some point anyway.

Yeah, but my wife made me stop. She said they were tacky. I said, "No,
they dry overnight." We moved right after the buxom blonde in the beige
bolero burst onto the scene, -the one in the bathroom above where the
hamper used to be.

I know that some of the internal links are absolute (in which case they

Let me know if you notice any errors that need to be fixed.
