The Web as filtered (and hopefully enriched ;-) by Adrian McEwen

Permalink Weirdness

Apologies to anyone reading McFilter via the RSS feed, as you might have been seeing lots of duplicate or not-really-new new posts whenever a comment is added to the blog.

It seems to be a problem with the permalinks - initially they don’t have the category in them, and whenever something causes the main page to be rebuilt the category gets added, which makes it look like a new entry even though it isn’t.

It’s been annoying me for a while, and I’ve been slowly chipping away at solving it. The next step is to upgrade Movable Type, as there was a suspicious looking bug fixed in v3.2, but that might take another week or so before I get chance. So in the interim, I’m sorry. At least you know I’m suffering from the problem too…
