I use something much simpler :)

This is actually what Ultranerds.com is running on, and most of those sites. Andy's development sites, and his others are running the more complex code. For most people, the simpler rules work fine, and they have fewer "gotchas".

All you need to do is pick a search engine friendly 1st level directory, such as site, resources, art, whatever describes your site well, and and then create the empty directory in your document root.

Add the codes (with "resources" changed to whatever your directory name is) and restart the server (or put it into the main .htaccess).

Andy's rule sets are more complex. Images won't be rwritten in my rule sets, they can stay right where they are.

We've gotten some good page ranks, and targeting with the simple rules.

with the simple rules you just create one dummy directory. Andy's requires some additional planning, and tweaking, but you can handle special cases a bit better -- he's a special needs sort of fellow ;) (ducking).
