			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You installed <a title="WordPress MU" href="http://mu.wordpress.org/" target="_blank">WordPress MU</a> on Apache and wrote few blog posts. Now when you go to your site by typing the www version of url (ex: www.yourblog.com) the url automatically get changed to non www version? But you want to get the www version instead?</p>
<p>Ok. This is what you have to do</p>
<p>1) Login to WordPress Mu admin<br />
2) On left side menu &#8220;Site Admin&#8221; -&gt; &#8220;Blogs&#8221; and click on your blog<br />
3) Change site url from http://yourblog.com to http://www.yourblog.com<br />
4) Scroll down and press &#8220;Update options&#8221;</p>
<p>Now all non-www requests will be redirect to www version.</p>
<p>(The procedure is similar in regular WordPress where you need to change the &#8220;Blog Address URL&#8221; in admin -&gt; Settings -&gt; General)</p>
<p>Of course to work this you need to have apache mod_rewrite installed and activated on your server.</p>
<p>Keeping only one url version is search engine friendly. Say you allow your site to be accessed by all these urls. www.yourblog.com, yourblog.com and yourblog.com/index.php. All these point to a same page. This can be lead to pagerank splits, Backlinks split and lastly you’re risking getting filtered for duplicate content by the new filters at Google.</p>
<p>For these reasons it is better you keep either www or non-www version activated but not both.<br />
