I've been investigating options to maintain ciulla.org via a content management system. Most of them have been overkill for maintaining the few static pages I have laying around.

Then it occured to me that I could use WordPress to maintain the static stuff.

So, I read the instructions on the WordPress Codex. Several times. And I changed my options, moved the files, then updated the permalink structure. Several times. I even deleted .htaccess. Several times.

All to no avail.

Then, magically, it just started working. I hate it when stuff just starts to work. That is, provided it didn't initially work.

edit: I think GoDaddy uses be some kind of caching mechanism. That would explain a lot.
