Idk if this is relevant to you or not anymore, but the AO3 script that you shared has literally saved my life and removed one more obstacle to publishing, where before my brain was all like 'but HTML script is so annoying and stressful, let's not write' attitude.

Thank you so much for sharing!

You are so welcome! I could never get AOYeet to work for me for some reason, and becauseI do know a little HTML it's nice to be able to do things like edit in line breaks (which for the record are done with the code <hr/> for "horizontal rule.") Happy publishing!

Using mod_rewrite to redirect Tumblr URLs on custom domains

For those of you who use custom domains and would like to redirect domain1.tld to domain2.tld and keep your URLs working, here’s a mod_rewrite script that works. 

Note that you have to have some kind of hosting for domain1.tld for this to work.

Create an .htaccess file in the root of domain1.tld’s hosting with the following:

RewriteEngine on Redirect 301 / http://domain2.tld/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /(.*)/$ RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=301,L]

Replace domain2.tld with your new domain name.

General computer security advice

Not sure if I've typed something like this up already, but...

General reminder that the following procedures are fairly low-maintenance and can prevent computer headaches in the future, without the hassle of leaving an anti-virus program running full-time:

Have an ad-blocker installed on every browser - Adblock Plus or similar. This not will only generally get rid of the worst malware vectors, but will also make your browser experience nicer. Browsing or reading articles on a computer without an ad-blocker feels antiquated, foreign, and unnecessary to me now. On the other hand, if you're having problems on a page or you want to view ads for a site (to financially support them), you can manually re-enable ads per page; but otherwise, it's best to leave it off.

Install a JavaScript blocking extension like NoScript or similar on a browser that you can use to visit "untrusted" sites, or sites you've never been to before. If you want to be especially safe, install this on your main browser and disable it only on sites you trust. This especially helps filter out problems for links that you might click on by accident in your main browser. An additional benefit of blocking Javascript on some sites is that it can be used to prevent Google Analytics and advertising tracking services from working, which is good for privacy (though not perfect in any way) and may make your Internet load faster. Internet Exploder has built-in security settings, but the menus for these are confusing in my experience. You may have to do a Google search for "internet explorer disable javascript" to find out how to do this.

Advanced: Get Spybot Search & Destroy (or another program, though I'm not sure if other programs have this function) and use its "Immunization" tool. While it's a generally good idea to run scans with an anti-virus or anti-spyware tool occasionally, the "Immunization" adds entries to your hosts file (linked page is not necessary reading, just background information) that should entirely stop a number of IP addresses and website addresses that only direct to malware, from ever loading on your computer.

In addition to all of these, I absolutely recommend an anti-virus program if you can spare the monetary cost or the system performance to run one, but I've had poor luck with anti-virus programs that slow a system down worse than some malware.

I Am Not A Computer Security Expert, but I hope the above is useful.

edit: Tumblr seriously garbled the formatting on this post. My apologies about that.

sockandsam replied to your post: for some reason my chrome isn’t letting window’s...

I just looked up the issue, it’s a problem with Chrome and Windows 7 and Google hasn’t provided a solution in the past two years. Some say pressing F11 twice takes care of it temporarily.

oooo dangit I just completely uninstalled and reinstalled instead.

But thank ya! I'll keep that in mind for the next time it happens. |:
