I’m too much of a control freak and a perfectionist to let the slug remain misspelled, so I would change it, and labouriously code the redirect. That started to get old, and my .htaccess was becoming bigger, which slows things down, so I decided there had to be a better way. (This is the point in this infomercial where I try to “sell” you something).

Redirect Old Slugs is a plugin I wrote to address this issue. Upload it, activate it, and forget about it. If you run across a title that is misspelled, change it, and fix the slug too… the plugin will notice the change, and remember the old slug. When someone comes looking for the misspelled version, they’ll automatically be forwarded to the new version. Violà: worry-free title typo corrections.

Also check in with the WordPress.com Frequently Asked Questions blog.

In a sentence, the full version of WordPress is for tweaking and customizing and WordPress.com is for blogging.

How do you do the post to digg/technorati etc? stuff on this post?

On topic: I don’t do an .htaccess redirect when I discover a typo. Mainly due to the speed with which my popular sites get indexed, but also because my .htaccess file is growing quite large enough as it is.
Instead I follow the following process
1) fix the spelling in the header and the slug
2) create a new post with the original misspelling and slug. The body acknowledges that we made a typo and link to the original post.

An example is at my new site. First post we made a huge typo.

I do this because I’ve been seeing 301 and 404 errors in my logs for years over exactly this sort of stuff and you never know how long somebody’s link will last. Yes 301 is possible but it suits my blog style better.

It’s up to you.

CES: Thanks for the kind words!

Vincent: WordPress.com bloggers have no control over their WordPress Themes. We can’t change anything in the design elements. I apologize for the author not paying attention to this issue regarding Accessibility Standards. There are ways to overcome the CSS elements, and you are using one that should, so I will dig into this matter soon to see if I can come up with some other methods to help. Thanks for pointing this out to me.
