Serving Improvements
How exciting! Our first product update since launch!
In addition to telling all our friends about our cool new thing, interacting with software communities, and being mildly nervous that everything's going to explode, we've been working on some serving improvements!
"Serving" refers to the component that actually delivers your site to your visitors—you upload your site to us, and we serve it your visitors. What we launched with was good enough, but there were some rough edges. Some of them you might have found. There were also some easy features we could add, so we went ahead and did that.
First, directories and slashes. We've always supported index.html, but you may have noticed that while
Second, we added smart www handling. The collective web has had a long history with the www prefix. We're proud to say that Teahouse handles this intelligently and will redirect to your preferred form.
And finally, the new future: you can now customize your 404 pages. If you add _404.html to your site, it'll be used whenever Teahouse can't find what the visitor is looking for.
And one bonus feature: This news feed has an Atom feed now.
