Looking for an easy way to make sure that visitors always see www.yourdomain.com instead of yourdomain.com? It’s simple if you’re hosting on a server that can handle .htaccess files. Take a look at the code below:

RewriteEngine on

Options FollowSymlinks

rewritecond %{http_host} ^ageedesign.com [nc]

I’ve been contemplating creating an iPhone app since hearing that they would support third party web development on the device but I was reluctant since I wasn’t planning to purchase an iPhone. Now I’ve got a good reason to reconsider!
