Personally, I believe the .htaccess file emanates straight from the bowels of hell.

It is THE one thing that can easily trip up beginners.

But, alas, there is help!

Scoot on over to Ask Apache and find the htaccess help you need.

This article will help you with any of the following:

  • When site is “Under Construction”
  • Redirect everyone to different site except 1 IP
  • prevent caching 100%
  • Remove IE imagetoolbar without meta tag
  • Add Privacy (P3P) Header to your site
  • Add a “en-US” language tag and “UTF-8″ without meta tags!
  • various redirects
  • plus many more htaccess tips

I personally try to avoid the htaccess file unless it’s a must. So if you want to dip your toes into the fiery flames of he…opps…I mean htaccess then head over to Ask Apache!
