All Narfed Up photography and words by Bryan Villarin

Although I could be drastically mistaken, my understanding of Steve’s info was that there was no longer a requirement to update anything in the .htaccess file:

This version handles the redirection in a completely different way. There is no longer a requirement for .htaccess, so it will work with any permalinks structure on any platform, Windows included. Not only that, this one version is compatible with WordPress versions 2 and 1.5. In other words, it should work for pretty much everyone.

And in my rush to click submit, I failed to tell you that I switched it on yesterday. Although it’s too early to tell if I have made any improvements for anyone visiting, I do find it cool that I know of at least 3 (such a big number, eh?) that do have my site clocked in a feed reader of some sort.

It’ll work for almost anyone - using the default WordPress feed. I changed mine to be like Matt’s feeds, so that no longer applied to me.

My feed was:

http://xml.btvillarin.com/feed/

That one doesn’t redirect to FeedBurner.

Hope that clears it up!

I never said I was a smart one.

Try adding this line to a .htaccess file under your xml.btvillarin.com sub-domain:

Redirect permanent /feed/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/AllNarfedUp

Thanks James, I think that works!

I’m not sure why it’s not working right now, so I disabled that redirect. This doesn’t make sense…
