Howdy Happy Hackers,
I've now become one of the WordPress faithful, and have been enjoying the
experience so far. Just found a killer edit-in-place plugin at
http://www.headzoo.com/downloads - with a little style tweaking, you'll be
flying.
I come to you this evening with a hacking help request. In my travels, I've
discovered this bit of code for the 404.php. The problem is: BlogWare URLs
do not contain keywords. :P BlogWare URLs do, however, contain date strings
similar to those found in WP URLs. So...
This comes to show that WordPress is more SEO-friendly and URL's make
arrival at pages more rhetorical.

is now at:
http://chris.pirillo.com/2006/02/23/googlefasting-day-1/
I notice that both are broken at the moment.
Could this be rewritten (and shared, for other frustrated ex-BlogWarers) to
identify the date range from the old BlogWare URLs, then pop the visitor to
the date archive page for that day? Sure would save me a bit of transition
frustration.
<?
$search_term = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],1);
$search_term = urldecode(stripslashes($search_term));
$search_url = 'http://chris.pirillo.com/index.php?s=';
$full_search_url = $search_url . $search_term;
$full_search_url = preg_replace('/ /', '%20', $full_search_url);
$full_page = implode("", file($full_search_url));
print_r($full_page); die();
?>
Have you consider taking a different approach altogether? Trying to
re-write URL's for totally separable CMS's is hard. You might be better
off producing XML sitemaps using one of the free tools from SourceForge
(for ststic pages). There is a plug-in for WordPress which does this as
well. Then, redirect (at server-level) with error status 301 from the old
URL's to the new ones. You still need to manage one-to-one page mappings,
but worry not... you will not lose Googlejuice... nor will you have a
reason to fast. *smile*
Hope it helps,
Roy
