Regular web-browsing visitors might not notice, but I’ve re-rooted my blog. Instead of being at asymptomatic.net/wp it’s now back at asymptomatic.net.
What problems has this caused? Well if you were logged in before, your user information would automatically appear in the comment form. That probably isn’t working now. You’ll have to log out and then log back in and things will be fine.
Also, I seem to have spammed the Planet WordPress feed, since all of my permalinks have changed. All the old ones work, but they’re not being served in the RSS feed. This seems like a bug in some software somewhere (maybe Planet Planet, maybe WordPress), since the GUID for the post is stored in the database (not generated based on the blog location) and should be served with the feed. Currently, it looks to me like a WordPress bug.
Why did I do it? Well, it’s all for vanity’s sake. I astablished asymptomatic.net as a fairly popular location on the web. Technorai thinks so, at least. And then I move the blog and things got a little disjointed. This is my attempt to unify everything again.
You’ll notice that URLs pointing to the old /wp locations all redirect (301-Moved Permanently) to the new rooted location. So hopefully that changes all the indexes on the web.
Anyway, thanks for bearing with the change. Everything should be back to normal real soon.
