10 years, 100 memorable moments
http://birthday.yahoo.com/netrospective/
I haven’t looked at this page before (though I did print out their 10th birthday free ice cream coupon at Baskin-Robbins many weeks ago), but noticed it today in the drop-down menu on the Yahoo toolbar (which I love and use all day).
There’s a lot of memory going back 10 years, with myself included. When my daughter set up my first computer for me she set Yahoo as my homepage, figuring that I’d be able to find anything I wanted with that as the starting point. It was so then - and still is, to this day.

NVU - they say it’s usable with Linux and Macintosh as well as Windows - and it’s open source, too!

It seems there can be a problem with both the non-www and the www. versions of a domain turning up in search engine listings - like the credit for links being split or the worst possibility being a duplication issue. It’s a precaution worth taking, there’s certainly no harm in it.
No way could it be made to work on some of my sites, so I contacted the hosting support people. I heard nothing back, and ended putting in the code in that I’d seen recommended at forums and that was working with sites on other servers. The automated way through the control panel apparently wasn’t working with that server configuration. A week later I heard from support telling me that it was working, closing the ticket.
This is what the mod_rewrite code in .htaccess looks like that works:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
And yes, I have redirected pages to example.com - more than once.
