5 Apr 2020 : URLs simplified #
The backend for this site has always been designed to simplify the way pages are referenced and it's always been my desire to have the site URLs presented in this same simplified form. This has been my plan for over a decade (which is over 25 in computer years). Now that this site is being served by apache and I have access to mod_rewrite, I'm finally able to make it happen. So, starting now, URLs that used to look like this https://www.flypig.co.uk/?page=blog&list=blog&list_num=5 will now look like this https://www.flypig.co.uk/blog. That's undoubtedly a big improvement. The old URLs all still work fine, so inward links are unaffected, but there may be other wrinkles I'll need to iron out over time. I have to say, it's pretty thrilling for me to finally have this work as intended after so much time.
