Oh man... Now you're gonna make me learn a whole new system!?!?
The short answer is, I've been too lazy to look at it yet. I'm just trying
to get rid of the application name everywhere because it seems so...
redundant! My dns name already has the name of the site, then it gets
repeated in the application. For. Every. Single. Page. In. The. Site.
I'll look into the parameter based thing. I'm on a biz trip and looking at
14 hours in the air anyway... Plenty of time to learn a new trick...
