This post describes a problem that I am now experiencing: My old blogger permalinks are totally broken. Worst, my URLs on blogger were not those generated by blogger. I had my own server-side process that broke URLs into pieces following some special recipe. Now that I moved to a pure MT site, the old URLs are broken and I decided not to do any redirects. Anyway, the web server logs showed sooooo few referers to my old pages...

Some people even think the URL scheme should hide the extension (.html in my case). I am not sure if I agree with this belief. Extensions are actually useful and provide valuable information. I tried a few things in this direction anyway but ended up thinking that all this was a complete waste of time. So I am done with URLs. Language ID, datetime, and extention.
