Speak of the devil...
Today I complained I hadn't seen Googles bot yet. They must have heard. A.B.C.D - - [08/Mar/2008:20:51:47 +0100] "GET /blog/ HTTP/1.1" 200 12557 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)"
He did follow the redirect from '/' to '/blog/'. It looks like that's the only link he followed though.
Perhaps that's because I'm an idiot and had a bad config for the blog. I run a test version on a local system, so I can play around with any changes I want to make. Those changes are tracked in a Mercurial repository, so if they're ok I can just push those to the server and update there. Unfortunately I also commited the config file changes I needed on the test setup to the live setup. As a result most links pointed to http://172.16.0.100 instead of to the real site. For obvious reasons that doesn't work too well for everyone but me.
It's a good thing no one reads this.
