RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} &nbsp; !^fully\.qualified\.domain<wbr />\.name [NC]<br />
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} &nbsp; !^$<br />
RewriteRule ^/(.*) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="http://fully.qualified.domain.name/$1" rel="ugc">http://fully.qualified.domain.name/$1</a>&nbsp;[L,R]<br />
<br />
I think this is just about what I need. Still could use a little advice.

I had 2 of those lines in the joomla code already. I simply put them in the same order and it seems to be working within the other commands joomla is doing on the url.

I just want to know how to config the htaccess to do this one function:<br />
<br />
say someone comes in typing <a href="http://www.domain.dom" rel="ugc">www.domain.dom</a>&nbsp;<br />
<br />
I want to have them arrive at domain.com<br />
<br />
Same true for all links. Anything that comes in with www. it trims it out. I just want to keep my url short for when google indexes me the first time.
