This problem happened to me before, and I fixed it. Now it happens again, and I forgot what the solutions was. So I better write something about it, for my own reference – and hopefully you will benefit from it too.

WordPress Problem

Whenever I try to access my blog’s home page, it redirects me to an inner page. Can’t get around it, and therefore: can’t see my home page. Nor can my website visitors, or the search engines.

A major issue…

Plugin Solution

After researching online a bit, I found this post called “What’s wrong with the WordPress Redirection Plugin?” – Posted on August 17, 2010 by IT. And yes, it provided me with the solution.

So, the Redirects plugin is broken.

But the solution to these faulty home page redirects:

Go to Tools –> Redirection –> Groups –> click “edit group” to the right of “Modified Post” –> uncheck the Enabled box and save it.

click “edit group” to the right of “Modified Post”

uncheck the Enabled box and save it

And after I made this change…voila! I could see my home page again!

Thanx, IT!

NOTE:
I just found out that it looks like the plugin developer fixed it; the change log for release 2.1.29 (Sep 18, 2010) according to the WordPress Plugin Directory mentions:
>> Fix problem with custom post types auto-redirecting (click on ‘groups’ and then ‘modified posts’ and clear any entries for ‘/’ from your list)

Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, has changed a bit since I first started in the field back in 2001.

Google’s prominence has grown to stellar height, and both Yahoo! and MSN are still trying to catch up. Ways to trick the search engines still exist, but many of them have stopped working.

But on the other hand, optimizing for the search engines is still an art that involves insight (get yourself trained, even if it is just an e-book), experience (don’t just read – ACT! implement that knowledge) and tools. Good search engine optimization software can help you a lot to get better rankings. Read the rest of this entry

The first snow flakes fell today, here in Fergus, Ontario, Canada. So this seemed like a fitting subject ;o)

OK, I said “snow flakes” – not winter storm. We still have to wait for a few months before the busloads viagra white stuff will arrive…

Anyhow,

when seasons change, you have to prepare yourself. Did you rust-proof your car, clean out your eavestroughs, stock up on salt?

Fall is here, and Winter is near.
