While I was playing with HTML, I decided to give HTM5 a shot.  Based on http://html5boilerplate.com/ I made http://www.auxstream.com/test/boilerplate.  It doesn’t work yet.  Wordpress is using the .htaccess file to push that subdirectory back to the main site, so I’m changing it, hopefully without breaking anything…

Still doesn’t work.  Something in the /boilerplate dir is screwing it up.

Totally was.  the HTML5 boilerplate .htaccess file included

# you probably want www.example.com to forward to example.com -- shorter URLs are sexier.
#   no-www.org/faq.php?q=class_b

  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

which I had to change

  RewriteEngine On

to

  RewriteEngine Off

to keep from redirecting to the wwwroot, which is this blog.
