Thanks for the info!

P.S. As I said, this could be fixed by giving every Blog its own table in the DB… But maybe that’s too difficult at this point?

I guess I’m getting confused a little… I couldn’t care less about “usable” URIs — most people come to a site (or page) by clicking on a link (either from a search engine or an RSS Aggregator or e-mail or whatever). Usually, the only thing that matters is the domain URL — I’m more likely going to tell someone to visit https://www.my-domain.com than “you should check out this essay I wrote at https://www.my-domain.com/blog/archives/year/month/day/postname” — or https://www.my-domain.com/blog/index.php?p=4 for that matter).
What I want to know is that when I move my Blog (if I have to) importing the entries into a databse will not change UID=4 to UID=8 depending on which order I import my Blogs…
Maybe I am wrong with this, though, being that I have only done it with MT — importing an MT Blog will import all of its UIDs in sequencial order, even if they were “written” in staggered order.
Can anyone clarify this?
Thanks,

Thanks for all of that work, Chris… It doesn’t seem to be working for me, though — when I click the permalink, it sends me to a 404.
Is the string to be added to the .htaccess file in inclusion with something else?
Thanks,

Yeah, I’m sorry, I know why cruft-free URIs are important (I like using them myself), I was just wondering why ALL of the talk is about comprehension and not much is about future-proofing.

P.S. I meant the Subject of this post to say “possible fix?”.

That’s an awesome trick. Thanks.

> some people, like me only get one DB from their host
Yep, my new host does this… As opposed to my old which gave me 10 DBs!
Anyway, I could purchase more DBs, but I’d rather stick with one if I can.
Thanks!

Any ideas on where to begin doing this?

Sorry, do you mean include this in the .htaccess file?

I’m sorry, I plead much ignorance and admit that I have no idea what you mean. Can you explain how to implement this?
Thank you!
