Hi Garvin! External Redirection! That's it. 8) That works fine, without having to touch any of the .php files. I have altered the rule a bit: Doing a 301 Permanent Redirect instead Use a relativ path to have it work together with RewriteBase Catch more 'mistyped URL' and exclude something that could...

Any additional help still would be appreciated.

In the case you read this Garvin!

For me version 1.31 works fine, but I have disabled it for other reasons.

The latest version seems to be 1.34. I did not try the new one.

How would an accessible Site that is not very huge (as adobe.com) profit from submitting sitemaps? If you search for adobe (on google) e.g. you see the effect of submitting a sitemap for a large site. But for regular sites I don't really see the use... Sitemaps reviewed: PRO: * Use XML sitemaps to ...

I don't think I mentioned penalties. You are right, you didn't. Having an overview page indexed gives you simply more chances that your blog turns up in some search results (SERP) for some users. That's what I know. A search engine cares most about giving best matching results to the user. They do ...

There is nothing like "available slots"! And there is no "Duplicate Content Penality" , if you run your blog * in a natural fashion * have original content * don't steal from other sites * don't overload it with advertisment Only thing that happens is, Google hides result sets th...

Well, sorry I could not help. I don't know what you mean by "comments platform". I don't know any blog that allows images in the comments, regardless of software could do it or not. On blogs, people usually don't spend much time writing comments. I am not sure, if they would mess around wi...

Hi " ant01 " You wonder where the images will come from? It goes like this: * A user registers with any of those platforms and uploads an avatar image to their servers * The user is logged in to the platform (cookie is set) at the time he leaves a comment * The blog captures the picture an...

Hi! How about this mod_rewrite rule: RewriteRule ^/([0-9]{4})\-([0-9]{1,2})/ /archives/$1/$2/summary.html [L,QSA] ? Regards, Garvin Unfortunately it does not seem to be that easy. It simply loads the blog homepage without an error message. index.php doesn't accept the rewritten URL as 'archive'. I ...

I loaded the plugin but it doesn't work or I am not sure how to install it, my URL http://www.muskat.co.za/serendipity/ Well, you installed it, I can see it in the source. I left a comment in your post "Comments on womens hockey". For some reason it does not find my MyBlogLog Avatar image...

Sadly very few of us are actively promoting s9y outside of the Serendipity world. I'm really excited about our contest being hosted on an s9y blog. We cannot really blame them. Even though Serendipity is offered by the world largest registrar -- GoDaddy -- it is too tempting for everyone to jump on...

Good on you for sharing John, my article is submitted. It mentions Serendipity, but the article is of use to any blogger. BTW, how many articles can we submit? Sharing is a good basis for success :D Thanks for your article. Your Blog is really "fine". I am happy about original content. I ...

Hi, I will be hosting the next edition of the "Webmaster Articles" Blog Carnival on my Blog on December 03, 2007 . It's a Serendipity powered Blog of course. I would love to get article submissions from other Serendipity Blogs as well. Let's show the WorldPress World of Internet Marketing,...

Hi, Answer to your 2. question. You can add Images/Avatars to comments by using the Avatar Plugin (Event plugin) Show avatars inside comments. Gravatars, Pavatars, Favatars and MyBlogLog avatars are supported. version: 1.31 I had tried it out, it worked nicely. I did not keep it for design reasons. ...
