===Changing the blog Wordpress url===
It seems likely that some Reddit bots are automatically blocking postings with the word blog in their URL. So I decided to move my blog Wordpress installation from /blog to /journal.
Note that I briefly tried 'article' (singular to save letters). I also considered 'paper', which is shorter but not quite right. Likewise study, etc. Also digest (which was a close second), review, bulletin, and pub (which was just too ambiguous). The problem with article is that although it looks good for article URLS, the landing URL is then www.edegan.com/article. A collection word is better. And journal appeals to the academic in me.
#Fix aliases in apache and the default subdomain for landing (see below)
#Fix the permalinks (update the .htaccess file)

#(Create and) load up a new icon image (it is set under Appearance -> Customize -> Site Identity)
#Run any updates etc.
#Reconnect Google site kit
#Fix the links hardcoded in menus

#Fix the images etc. (they initially fine... but I came to suspect that they were cached and an HTML inspected revealed the wrong urls)
To fix the main alias in apache:
