Back in 2017 I said 'URLs are UI' and I stand by it. At the time, however, I was running this 18 year old blog using ASP.NET WebForms and the URL was, ahem, https://www.hanselman.com/blog/URLsAreUI.aspx
The blog post got on Hacker News and folks were not impressed with my PascalCasing but were particularly offended by the .aspx extension shouting 'this is the technology this blog is written in!' A rightfully valid complaint, to be clear.
ASP.NET MVC has supported extensionless URLs for nearly a decade but I have been just using and enjoying my blog. I've been slowly moving my three 'Hanselman, Inc' (it's not really a company) sites over to Azure, to Linux, and to ASP.NET Core. You can actually scroll to the bottom of this site and see the git commit hash AND CI/CD Build (both private links) that this production instance was built and deployed from.
As tastes change, from anglebrackets to curly braces to significant whitespace, they also change in URL styles, from .cgi extesnions, to my PascalCased.aspx, to the more 'modern' lowercased kebab-casing of today.
But how does one change 6000 URLs without breaking their Google Juice? I have history here. Here's a 17 year old blog post..the URL isn't broken. It's important to never change a URL and if you do, always offer a redirect.
Sqlpro studio 1 0 452 x. When Mark Downie and I discussed moving the venerable .NET blog engine 'DasBlog' over to .NET Core, we decided that no matter what, we'd allow for choice in URL style without breaking URLs. His blog runs DasBlog Core also and applies these same techniques.
We decided on two layers of URL management.
- An optional and configurable XML file in the older IIS Rewrite format that users can update to taste.
- Why? Users with old blogs like me already have rules in this IISRewrite format. Even though I now run on Linux and there's no IIS to be found, the file exists and works. So we use the IIS Rewrite Moduleto consume these files. It's a wonderful compatibility feature of ASP.NET Core.
- The core/base Endpoints that DasBlog would support on its own. This would include a matrix of every URL format that DasBlog has ever supported in the last 10 years.
Here's that code. There may be terser ways to express this, but this is super clear. With or without extension, without or without year/month/day.
If someone shows up at any of the half dozen URL formats I've had over the years they'll get a 301 permanent redirect to the canonical one.
The old IIS format is added to our site with just two lines:
And offers rewrites to everything that used to be. Even thousands of old RSS readers (yes, truly) that continually hit my blog will get the right new clean URLs with rules like this:
Or even when posts used GUIDs (not sure what we were thinking, Clemens!):
We also always try to express to tell search engines which link is the official - canonical - one. We've also autogenerated Google Sitemaps for over 14 years.
What's the point here? I care about my URLs. I want them to stick around. Every 404 is someone having a bad experience and some thoughtful rules at multiple layers with the flexibility to easily add others will ensure that even 10-20 year old references to my blog will still resolve!
Oh, and that article that they didn't like over on Hacker News? It's automatically now https://www.hanselman.com/blog/urls-are-ui so that's nice, too!
Here's some articles I've already written on the subject of moving this blog to the cloud:

- Broken links and 404s where you wouldn't expect them

Project goals
The aim of this Free Software project is to provide valuable help toindividuals and schools all over the world in learning or teaching howto type.
Free Software can be a valuableresource in education. Not only can it be technically or pedagogicallysuperior to proprietary counterparts, but it can also promote thevalues of the GNU project in the schools:
- Freedom
- Cooperation
See the Education sectionfor more details about Free Software for Education.
As project maintainers, our main goal is toprotect users' freedom and encourage their cooperation, by:
- Encouraging users and teachers to share their needs and bringcontributions.
- Keeping the tool open and easily extensible. Our goal is to empower anyone,in particular amongst typing teachers, to satisfy one's needs by improvinglessons or writing new ones, as well as by making the tool work in one's ownlanguage.
- Making the tool universal, attractive and easy to use, so that as manypeople as possible benefit from contributed work and knowledge. This shouldalso strengthen the user community and attract new contributors.
To see a full list of the current plans we have to improve GNU Typist,you can read the latest TODOfile, availablehere. In a nutshell, our major long-term plans include:
- Porting the interface to GTK make it easier to use and navigatebetween lessons.
- Displaying the keyboard layout and indicating which finger issupposed to be used while typing.
