Cleaning Up My Act
Well, I’m getting tired of the moaning and crying about “stealing my content” this and “DMCA” that, so I’m taking the autoblogs on tuggboat.com offline. Yeah, they were spam, yeah they were not the best idea in the world. They did bring in enough adsense clicks to pay for three months of hosting ( or one night at McDonalds with my family), but ultimately they’re not the sort of legacy I want to leave my children.
Anyway, I’m redirecting them with a .htaccess file and a index.html file to some appropriate MFA or other kind of advertising sites, which while aren’t the best content on the web, are less “spammy” or “angry email producing.”
Here’s the htaccess file I’m using to 302 redirect the domain to a new location
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://new location here [R=302,L]
And here’s the index.html file that will use a meta refresh to go to the new location, if for some reason the .htaccess file doesn’t work.
< html>
< head>
< meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://new destination here“>
< /head>
< body>
< /body>
< /html>
< /code>
( note the extra space after the open tag < mark on each of those tags. )
