Schinckel.net

Nardac, a new Blogsome user, tried out my Page Templates hack, and asked the following question:

I’m having a hard time getting the pages to work. I think I’ve followed your instructions to a tee… but well… hmmm… can you take a look?
the page in question is http://nardac.blogsome.com/nardac/

I looked, and what is occurring is that his normal blog index page is appearing. So I tried the same with my blog: http://schinckel.net/schinckel/ - I know I don’t have a Page with this name, so I was interested to see what occurred. It too showed my index page. Looking down the bottom, I see the arguments that are passed to the server, and in this case, only the blog name is being sent (wpblog=schinckel). So, it seems that a page with the same name as the blog name cannot be used. I suspect this has something to do with the HTTP Rewrite Rules, but I’m not sure. I don’t see it as a big issue, anyway. Workaround: Don’t use your blog’s name as a Page name.
