In the process of moving this blog to a new server, the old home (webconnoisseur.com/blog) attaches itself to any post that starts with webconnoisseur.com/blog , meaning the wildcard is looking for the beginning match, rather than an exact match. If I put in a redirect, it messes up all the other wildcard redirects.
It was confusing at first, because it attached itselt to random old blog posts that started with blog, like “Blogging in the new year.”
Eventually I’ll edit the .htaccess file, but right now I’ll stick with Siteground’s default redirects and let this post serve as a warning that all my posts no longer live in a subdirectory /blog, but are at the root level.
Long story short, if you landed on this page, Enjoy the blog here.
