Site move
I’ve just finished moving the main website from the old URL (http://graphictribe.com/tattoos/) to http://graphictribe.com/. Not a big difference —it’s still under the same domain, but one directory up— and no particular reason for it, except that having it under /tattoos/ was superfluous and (maybe a little) confusing.
Last night I stayed up late fixing links and sitemaps and anything else on whatever sites I have access to, so all is left is figuring out the fucking .htaccess redirects; which is a pain in the ass, because the regular rules don’t seem to work; I have Options +MultiViews enabled and that, somehow, fucks up the way Redirect permanent /tattoos/filename http://graphictribe.com/filename behaves. No biggie though, all the links on the old pages point now to the new ones and the 404s are —hopefully— as helpful as they can get :)
So, if you had any pages bookmarked, please update them by removing “tattoos/” from the URL.
Here’s a list of what goes where:
graphictribe.com/tattoos/becomes graphictribe.com/graphictribe.com/tattoos/contactbecomes graphictribe.com/contactgraphictribe.com/tattoos/aboutbecomes graphictribe.com/aboutgraphictribe.com/tattoos/sitemapbecomes graphictribe.com/sitemapgraphictribe.com/tattoos/guidebecomes graphictribe.com/guidegraphictribe.com/tattoos/gallerybecomes graphictribe.com/gallerygraphictribe.com/tattoos/gallery-portraitbecomes graphictribe.com/gallery-portraitgraphictribe.com/tattoos/gallery-biomechanicbecomes graphictribe.com/gallery-biomechanicgraphictribe.com/tattoos/gallery-compositionbecomes graphictribe.com/gallery-compositiongraphictribe.com/tattoos/gallery-dragonbecomes graphictribe.com/gallery-dragongraphictribe.com/tattoos/gallery-naturebecomes graphictribe.com/gallery-naturegraphictribe.com/tattoos/gallery-kitschbecomes graphictribe.com/gallery-kitschgraphictribe.com/tattoos/gallery-tribalbecomes graphictribe.com/gallery-tribalgraphictribe.com/tattoos/gallery-trigonbecomes graphictribe.com/gallery-trigongraphictribe.com/tattoos/gallery-ringbecomes graphictribe.com/gallery-ringgraphictribe.com/tattoos/gallery-letteringbecomes graphictribe.com/gallery-letteringgraphictribe.com/tattoos/faqbecomes graphictribe.com/faqgraphictribe.com/tattoos/linkbecomes graphictribe.com/link
The old pages will stay in place for a little while —Google seems to have already caught up with the change so I guess a week or two should do— but won’t be updated anymore, so make sure you’re viewing the new ones (without “tattoos/” in the URL) when you visit ;)
Thanks for reading this!
Thanks for passing along the update info…
