Blogs, Forum, Wiki and nav links complete and RESTful on oneshore.com

The One Shore blogs are set up and working. With the correct URLs. As are the forums and wiki. And the about, services, and contact pages. All the menu links work (except demo) as well as a few extra. They are RESTful and pretty (mostly) and are bookmarkable and seachable. They have content. The wiki still has a lot of subjects to fill in, however. http://one-shore.com and http://www.one-shore.com behave the same. They are all under the same document root (through aliases) so migrating from dev->test->prod shouldn't be as much work. VirtualHosts for wiki, forum, blogs, and demo exist but have been deprecated. I'm not sure I like that, but based on Kelsey's opinion I put them under. It does make navigation cleaner, because you can go from http://www.one-shore.com/blogs/company to http://www.one-shore.com/about/one-shore by just editing the path, without messing with the hostname. This loses the independent logging and (easier) access restrictions (and ssl) that virtual hosts have. We'll see.

So here's a quick site map:

http://one-shore.com == http://www.one-shore.com
http://one-shore.com/about
http://one-shore.com/about/one-shore
http://one-shore.com/about/aaron-evans

Also the following external links:

http://fijiaaron.blogspot.com
http://boneshore.runboard.com/ == http://www.runboard.com/boneshore
http://bqasite.runboard.com/ == http://www.runboard.com/bqasite

Plus lots of tools in the wiki, and more forum pages. As you can see, the forum URLs aren't the best. Getting it merely took a tedious series of cut and paste steps from a tutorial on adminpicks.com Let me just say, punBB is spaghetti and I salute the brave soul who created the patch. Actually, a patch wouldn't have worked because there's been some change since then.

So now my site is structually complete, and restful, it's time for me to get some rest, and then get down to the real work. Plus, there's going to need to be some backporting because I did a lot of stuff on the fly in production, and I don't have it mirrored in dev. Like the nav links, I think. And any blog, wiki, or forum content. And I still need to test the contact forms.
