Unfortunately my website is running on IIS and therefore I don't have a working .htaccess file. I'm using a custom 404 handler to deal with Wordpress permalinks, but this wouldn't be called in this instance and I need something tha tintercepts the HTTP call, rather than a reactive solution. Thanks for the tip though. Nice blog btw. Subscribed to your RSs feed Hi Chris,

Gapr slowed down the loading of my dashboard so much (or rather Alexa did) I disabled it. Is that the ‘gapr’ plugin (PR and Alexa) or is it a different one?

I put www in front when I started the blog and don't want to change it. Another note: Certain other websites like pageranker.org treat a subdomain (any subdomain) just like the root domain. This 301 redirect may actually stop that behavior as well. (I like having the pagerank plugin for Firefox instead of relying on an outside service.) I reversed your example and it worked fine.

One in the root & one in /blog. The content of both files is exactly the same, except for one line that reads: "RewriteRule . /index.php [L]" for the .htaccess root file. And: "RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]" for the .htaccess root/blog file. Can anybody help? Thanks. Also, please note:
