Fiddling and tweaking

I noticed that the majority of the feed readers are still pointing to old feed URLs, in particular "/node/feed" and "/rss-articles/". So I added a permanent redirect to the .htaccess for those and make them point to the correct feed "atom.xml".

Redirect 301 /node/feed http://www.wchulseiee.net/atom.xml
Redirect 301 /rss-articles/ http://www.wchulseiee.net/atom.xml


I needed also a redirect for some query based URLs, so I added some mod_rewrite to the htaccess (a normal redirect doesn't work on query based URLs).

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.wchulseiee.net
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^feed/rss2$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.wchulseiee.net/atom.xml? [R=301,L]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.wchulseiee.net
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^q=node/feed$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.wchulseiee.net/atom.xml? [R=301,L]

Also, there are different feeds available, I created a list in the newly created Help section. The default feed includes both the weblog and photo items, but there is a separate feed available for the photos only. I can understand the desire for some oral silence and visual pollution.
