T-Mobile G1

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

As a longtime T-Mobile customer, it is exciting to hear about the launch of the highly antcipated Andriod OS or Google Phone.

Being a Mac user makes the decision a hard one.  It will be interesting to see how fast the phone takes off and if it really competes with the iPhone.  I will be one of the first people in line to try this new phone as my T-mobile Dash is getting quite old.

Hey, welcome to my blog. I’m going to try and blog about the internet etc, lets see how this works out.

Force Use of WWW in URL

Friday, December 17th, 2004

This small tutorial will show you how to force the use of “www” in you URL.

How many sites link to your site without the “www”? Consolidate you page rank and links by forcing the use of one host name.

You will need Apache and mod_rewrite for this to function properly. Create an .htaccess file and place the following commands in it. If you already have an .htaccess file then simply update it.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.casualcode.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.casualcode.com/$1 [R=301,L]

You will need to obviously change “casualcode.com” to your own domain.

The status code of the redirection is 301 Moved Permanently. A 301 redirect is the safest redirect because it helps preserve search engine ranking and page rank. Redirection should be setup properly on you web site now.

mod_rewrite is an Apache module which uses a rule-based rewriting engine, based on regular expression, to manipulate requested URLs on the fly.

Update

Google now has a feature for you to set the preferred domain in Google webmaster tools.
