At some point SB moved wordpress versions, and when this occurred old links broke. Every now and again when I come across an old post I fix them up, but you can't, so here is the sekret decoder ring. Things like:
http://scienceblogs.com/stoat/2007/11/hansen_again.php
turn into
http://scienceblogs.com/stoat/2007/11/23/hansen-again/
Which is annoying, because whilst you can get from "new" to "old" by s/-/_/g, removing the extra number and adding ".php", you can't get from old to new without knowing the number. Argh! But, it turns out the server has been taught some intelligence, because
http://scienceblogs.com/stoat/2007/11/hansen-again/
does work; it redirects to "new". Don't forget s/_/-/g.

You can set up the .htaccess file to automatically change the "_" to "-" and redirect
[Nice idea but I'm pretty sure I don't have access to .htaccess -W]
