  Technorati Trailing Slash Problem

blojsom requires a trailing slash at the end of the URL to go to the correct blog, and Technorati strips the slash from your URL when you submit it to claim your weblog. You can use URL Rewrite Filter in conjunction with blojsom to work around this issue.

Use the following rule for URL Rewrite Filter.

<rule>
    <from>^/blog/([a-z]*)([^/])$</from>
    <to type="redirect">/blojsom/blog/$1$2/</to>
</rule>

This is with URL Rewrite Filter installed into the blojsom context, so it will rewrite a URL like:

http://staff.cofa.unsw.edu.au/blojsom/blog/nigelkersten

to:

http://staff.cofa.unsw.edu.au/blojsom/blog/nigelkersten/
