sites with URL paths

[William Morgan]

Excerpts from why the lucky stiff's mail of 17 Sep 2004 (EDT):

Either way works for me. A related issue: I've been using the following
in local.rb:

class Entry
  def category
    self.id.gsub(/\/[^\/]*$/, "")
  end

  def category_link
    self.link.gsub(/\/[^\/]*$/, "")
  end
end

which allows things like:
  posted to <a href="<%= entry.category_link %>"><%= entry.category %></a>

So it might be worthwhile extending that idea to Entry objects. (I'm
sure the dark secret of my Perl heritage is showing at this point.)
