I have produced a simple htaccess and mod_rewrite guide, its intended to offer code so that you can cut and paste it even if you don't fully understand. http://www.blogstorm.co.uk/blog/htaccess-mod_rewrite-ultimate-guide/ Enjoy!
Thanks! That looks really great! I know I will use it and probably alot of other people too. I have seen lots of questions about mod_rewrite lately around here
