Nice! I’ve never noticed this. I’ll look into getting it changed and thanks for the tip. It could ruin the positive effects of a good article.

I also use the “more” link in all my posts, but did not realized about this issue until I stumbled upon this post. Nice catch! Thanks a lot.

I use the “more” link in every post as it helps keep the main page a little less cluttered.

This is a great deal of help all in one little package! I’ve stumbled this page, and I’ll probably mention it in my next post. Will send trackback if I do.

Thanks!

I tend to steer clear of the more link when writing myself. Can’t really see much value in it.

Oh man I hadn’t even thought of that issue! I haven’t used the ‘more’ WordPress tag before, but I know a ton of people that do. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

This is something I’ll definitely look into. I never knew anchors and their respective links would be classified as different pages.

Thanks for the tip! There is a also WordPress plugin called “Less”, that may be helpful for bloggers without programming skills. It does roughly the same as your code, as far as I can say. Try a search for “Less Thunderguy” to find it.

@dismet – something like that would be handled in the .htaccess file for Apache. Where you could tell it to drop the home.aspx. But you are likely using IIS with ASP.NET?

You may want to look into ISAPI_Rewrite for help there? I wish IIS could take the .htaccess file…

Great tip for wordpress users, i need similar fixes for my asp.net platform. My current cms application creates duplicate contents for home page.

For example: Logo token links to domainname.com/default.aspx
However my home page is /home.aspx

And this hurts.

Great post! I wouldn’t have even thought of that being an issue until you brought it up, kudos on finding a solution too!
