Post edited to correct Ms. Wells’ title.

I’ll push the what-URL meta-drivel down the atom feed with a quick update on some work we’re doing around here:

WordPress uses a wad of apache rewrite rules to implement “pretty” URL permalinks, a synthetic hierarchical path interface to the blog. This set of near-equivalents for lighttpd url.rewrite makes WordPress URLs work as discernible paths like tag/lighttpd/, rather than revealing the underlying numerical arguments to index.php.
