I have been looking for an article that in PLAIN ENGLISH explained the best URL tools. Your chart and all helped out a lot as well.

I didn't know about Lessn at the time. I like how simple it is - not much to go wrong there. I'm not sure it would fit everything I was looking for at the time, but it'll definitely be worth adding to this chart when I get a chance to update it. Thanks for the comment! Donald,

Modify pretty link's prli-config.php file. Change $prli_blogurl to be the root of your website. So, for mine, I set $prli_blogurl = 'http://esev.com'; 2. Use mod_redir to forward unknown top level requests to pretty link (actually to Wordpress): RewriteEngine On RewriteCond /var/www/$1 !-f RewriteCond /var/www/$1 !-d RewriteRule ^([^/]+)(/.*)?$ /blog/$1$2 [PT] Frans,
