Ht://Dig for go live




1) Fixed problem with htdig not indexing the site... turnedout to be
password related.

2) Ht://Dig currently places 114 documents in it's database which
exlcudess /mirror/.  I hope people realize that this is completely screwy.
It turns out the reason for this is that we have a lot of documents
linking to other documents in a circular fasion but the URL changes!

I've actually known about this for sometime, but figured that it wasn't
important for us to worry about, because there is a work around.

The workaround is that for *EVERY* page that is NOT an actual
article/external link we need the following in the <HEAD></HEAD> block:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

This is very important from a search results listing and performance
standpoint. I would also suggest that article/ext links pages include the:

<meta name="robobts" content="nofollow">

tag so htdig won't try to (re)index links off of these pages.
