This Blog Is Not For Reading

A blog, just like any blog, only more so

Welcome back!

Crossing the Floor

Crossing the Floor

This blog is not for reading at its new location… Here!

In politics, this would be called “crossing the floor” — not only did this blog move to a new domain name, but the underlying software has changed from Blogger to Wordpress. There’s a political statement if ever there was one.

The move isn’t done yet. There may be some superficial colour and layout changes, some slightly more substantial tweaking of sidebars and widgets, and possibly a very substantial URL change (I’d really like to get rid of “blogs” in http://bob.jonkman.ca/blogs/2009/10/16/welcome-back/, but keep the sign-in page at http://jonkman.ca/blogs/. Technical advice for crafting Apache rewrite code is welcome, and will be duly credited.

Now that it’s on the Jonkman Family web site, I hope there are other Jonkman family members who start their own blogs here too. You’ll need an e-mail address in the @jonkman.ca domain, but those addresses are available for the asking.

–Bob.

    Your requirement of keeping the sign-in at:

    http://jonkman.ca/blogs/

    Has defeated me. Otherwise it might have been as easy as:

    RedirectMatch permanent ^/blogs/(.*)$ http://bob.jonkman.ca/$1

    I played around with RewriteCond but no luck and no time. :-)

    Thanx, Scott.

    There is already some stuff at http://jonkman.ca/ and it’s only likely to grow in the future. I’d like to keep the sign-in page one level removed from the main page.

    But only the blogs will have a *.jonkman.ca subdomain, so I’ll try using that as a condition for RewriteCond when I get a round tuit.

    –Bob.
