Hooo-whee! Having all kinds of fun now! If you’ve never written thirty or more Rewrite Rules in the .htaccess file on your Apache server directory, well, buddy, you haven’t lived, I tell you what!

Hey, you’ll appreciate this. See this picture?

Well sir, that’s just one of the 450 or so images that used to be on our old blog. That particular one used to reside at the location blog.gleeson.us/media/0502/fist.jpg, as it so happens.

But not anymore. Nope, now it, and all the others, live at their new home in the special Gleeson Image Server Subdomain, i.gleeson.us! (And brother, if you don’t have an image server subdomain, you simply must get one!) The above picture is at i.gleeson.us/b2/0502/fist.jpg.

But that’s not the really cool part. No sir, the really cool part is, all of the old image URIs, every last one of ‘em, automatically rewrite to the new URIs! No, really! See for yourself! Just try going to blog.gleeson.us/media/0502/fist.jpg and see where it takes you.

How cool is that?

Bear with us, just have do do a thousand or so more things, then the blog will really work again! Yay!
