It's been a while since my last blog post. I've been busy behind the scenes working on a number of things. Originally this update was going to be very small; I was going to move the site over to a Unix host and then use some basic mod_rewrite to clean up the URLs (EX: "post.php?id=4" becomes "post/4").

Then the scope grew. I decided to make some visual changes, which you may or may not notice. I also did a lot more with mod_rewrite, including making my URLs "SEO friendly". Posts now have a short description for the link (descriptions are unique and specific to each post) as well as the category. This also reduces the number of redundant links pointing to the same content.

All the old links are still active. Using a combination of PHP and mod_rewrite, they are 301 redirected to their appropriate new links. This should hopefully get Google's index cleaned up, as I noticed some ugly redundant links in there last I looked.

I also changed the search yet again. The site now uses a Google-driven search engine (may take a bit to get it up and running).

More blog posts in the pipeline now that I have these updates done (which took a bit longer than originally planned).
