I’ve been busy the last few days making some [more] modifications to the site.

The first is a URL Rewriting engine so that instead of getting
unfriendly URLs like this one eddorre.com/comments.aspx?post_id=5,
you’ll see this: eddorre.com/posts/5.aspx. Makes it easier for
people to read and supposedly makes it easier for search engines to
spider. Some of the site still uses the unfriendly URLs but I’ll
transition that over soon. Although I would like to take credit for
writing the engine myself, I can’t. I used Scott Mitchell‘s engine that he posted on MSDN.

The second is a simple thing really. It’s a “remember me” checkbox on
the comments page. If you have the box checked (checked is the default
value on page load) and post a comment, I’ll save your name and url to a cookie. Next time you visit the comments page, I’ll
load those values in again so you don’t have to type them in all over
again. I don’t store anything else besides these values. If you don’t want cookies written to your machine, uncheck the
box before posting the comment.

I should note that while I do write and read cookies in this manner, I
don’t store any user information for personal use or distribution. The
only information that I log is what the web server normally logs.
