Okay, one last test. Though I am not promising this is my last test.

I predict that if there is only one word in a post title and it’s a normally omitted word, it will be used in the HTML filename regardless.

I imagine they have some extra little bit of logic in the Blogger code to handle this situation.

UPDATE:

Interesting! They actually don’t keep the omitted word, but substituted a generic “blog-post.html” as the HTML filename.

I imagine no one reading these test posts think they are remotely interesting, but I’m all geekily proud of myself. Good job, L’il Splotchy!

Another test.

This one is going to rawk.

UPDATE:

Oh Blogger I am so on to you.

The HTML file name is “an-a-the-an.html”.

A An The A An The A An The

Another test. You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?

UPDATE:

Name of the HTML filename is “the-the-the.html”.

I think my theory may be correct.

The The The The The The The

Hi, I’m just testing something here.

I don’t know if you notice this kinda stuff, but I do.

If you have “Enable Post Pages” set to Yes on the Archive section of your blog settings, each post you create actually results in the creation of a separate webpage.

The name of the webpage filename will be some form of what the title of your post is.

For example, for my Negative Space Signage Update post, the name of its HTML page is “negative-space-signage-update.html”.

There are rules which cause deviations from this naming convention. For example, if your post title is really long, your HTML filename will just use the first handful of words (if I am bored at some point, maybe I’ll figure out the length where the cutoff occurs). If your post title has punctuation, the punctuation is omitted from the HTML filename.

I have also noticed some common words (“a”, “an”, “the”) are omitted as well. For example, Here Come The Birds becomes “here-come-birds.html”.

Which brings us to this post. What if I have a post that only consists of words that are normally omitted?

I don’t know what’s going to happen.

So, I publish this, and hope Blogger doesn’t break. Although it would be kinda cool if I broke Blogger.

UPDATE:

Crazy… The title of the webpage of this post is “the-the.html”.

I’m wondering if the first “The” is disregarded, then it takes whatever follows the “The” as a word for the post title.

Something like this

The The The The The

Oh you can bet I’ll be testing this some more. More excitement to follow!
