Right, sorry for not being clear earlier. Both metric.org and lamar.colostate.edu/~hillger work, but the former redirects (?) to the latter. If you bookmark the site for example, you don't use a metric.org URI. When you search for USMA you don't get the metric.org address. I think it should be the other way around, that metric.org should be the *primary* address, not just an alias.
It's a very minor-looking change, I realise but I think it's the difference between being looking like some random site, and something more official.
