www is depreciated here

I am trying to clean up my duplicate WordPress content here at ecrosstexas.com.

Today I updated my .htacess file to redirect www.ecrosstexas.com to ecrosstexas.com as WWW is deprectiated. I have been using just ecrosstexas.com for some time now as my preferred URL. Of course, I could have used this plugin instead of hacking my .htacess file. A word of caution Cool URIs don’t change.

In order to answer this question, we must first recall the definition of WWW:

World Wide Web:
n. Abbr. WWW
1) The complete set of documents residing on all Internet servers that use the HTTP protocol, accessible to users via a simple point-and-click system.
2) n : a collection of internet sites that offer text and graphics and sound and animation resources through the hypertext transfer protocol.

Last week I updated my template’s header.php robots meta tag. Now <meta name="robots" content="index,follow" /> is only in the <head> of my main blog page, individual entries, and pages. My archives (monthly, categories, etc) all get <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />. Details can be found in How to Make a WordPress Blog Duplicate Content Safe.

Tonight we upgrade to Dean Allen’s Refer 2.01. Dean continues to provide an excellent set of tools, thanks! See the Recent referrals to ecrosstexas in all their glory.

A few pages here and there might present some php include errors following the upgrade. We plan to catch all of these in coming days.

Rini.org features the wonderful The Iraqi Information Minister 404 Error Page. Why didn’t we think of that first.

The best spot on the web for the Minister is WeLoveTheIraqi InformationMinister.com which compiles quotes, jokes, and parodies.

Taco Bueno too has taken to using the Iraqi Information Minister in the new radio spot. Problem is, he sounds like he has a Hindi accent.
