Too often are the mysteries of mod_rewrite overcomplicated by poor authorship. As for non-www or www, you contradict yourself by saying you prefer to use non-www in the article body yet in th title you say "From Non-WWW To WWW Version". My own opinion is that the uninitiated and less geeky audience use www, but in time people work out they can be lazy. I use firefox, so don't even bother with the tdl if I can get away with it; most often google redirects you straight to the site you want anyway. If there isn't one that matches you can just click it from the results page. Also helps with spelling mistakes as google is great at suggesting alternatives... Nicely explained.

However i was wondering, when you have a redirection like this, how you go about making your favicon show up in the address bar? My long domain, when accessed directly, shows it, but when i use the www. it doesn't.

For the first, the advantage definately goes to mod_rewrite. As for WWW versus non-WWW, it totally depends on the crowd that's coming to your site and your personal preference. Obviously you should force a user one way or the other, because I notice that search engines and even when users bookmark your site in social bookmarking places, they do a combination of: using the WWW, not using the WWW, using a trailing slash after directories, and not using trailing slashes. So pick two options and stick with them. Either force them to a WWW version or don't. Either force a trailing slash or don't. You would think that most people don't type the WWW, but I would beg to differ. We're not most people. People like my parents type the WWW, and I actually <em>don't</em> type the WWW either, but I do the shortcut <code>Ctrl + Enter</code> and that automatically ads a WWW and COM before/after whatever word you type in the address bar.

I just registered a new domain for a new project I am starting and I am trying to figure out which way to go. My first impression is that you want everything redirected to Non-WWW just because many people don't type if WWW. I know if i wanted to visit divspace i would simple type in 'divspace.com' Is there an advantage or disadvantage either way or just a personal preference?

One issue I see is no way to change the title tags on each page, where it seems to take the blog name for the home page. I have several hundred 600+ inbound links. I have pinged Technorati manually and used pingoat as well as pingomatic every time I add a new blog. There is plenty of content, about 30 articles. What else can I do?
