[pLog-svn] Htaccess update

Wed Feb 28 17:36:41 EST 2007

If you were getting errors, check your Apache error logs and have a  
look at the URLs that were causing those 40x errors. In lifetype.net  
I noticed that repeated requests for favicon.ico were causing those  
errors, you may be having the same problem. And with regards to using  
subdomains and eliminating /blog/ or /blog.php/ from the URL, as Jon  
said it won't cause any problem as long as you keep /post/, / 
archives/, /resource/, etc.
