If you go to any URL at cebidae.com you will be permanently redirected to the same location here. You can also get to here from www.dbdean.com too. Hopefully nothing will break. I’m hoping this will look a little more professional, and get me a bit higher on Google for david dean.

It was really simple to do:

  1. Point davidbdean.com at this website
  2. Create a redirection website with only a .htaccess file containing ‘RedirectPermanent / http://www.davidbdean.com/‘
  3. Point cebidae.com and dbdean.com to the redirection website

And it all just, hopefully, works.

You know, if there were any.

I’m fairly confident that nofollow has had zero effect on comment and trackback spam, but it probably has had an effect on commenting patterns. More here. It seems to me if you can post a useful comment on someones blog, a little bit of link-love back isn’t much to ask.

So, if anyone ever comments on my blog, you can have some of my mighty PR4 linking-ability right back. Unless it’s spam. Which won’t get through.

It’s a bit bare at the moment, but I’ll probably get around to fixing that. Probably.
