Option to disable portal

Description

Because I use Lyceum to host my two personal blogs, the portal page doesn't really make much sense for me. I would rather just disable it.

Also, I would like the system to return a 404 error for a URL that doesn't exist instead of redirecting to the portal. When I migrated to Lyceum from another blogging system, I was going to set up redirects for links that repeatedly showed up as 404 errors in my logs. But, because the system just did a 302 to the portal, I wasn't getting any 404s. I think this also may have confused RSS readers that were still pointing to my old feed URL. Instead of getting a 404, they got the portal.

what do you mean by disabling the portal?

regarding 404s-- this is fixed in 1.0, try it out if you get the chance

I mean that I don't want any redirects or anything to ever end up at portal.php. It would just be confusing to the people who visit my site. Or, at the least, maybe portal.php could be just a very simple listing of available blogs with no mention of testing out Lyceum or signing up for a new blog.

How does that sound?

Oh I see.

Well, the user is very rarely redirected to portal.php. And you are free to modify portal.php to do whatever you which, including redirecting elsewhere.

Give me more specifics for what you envision-- under what circumstances is the user redirected to portal.php, and what would you like the system to do instead?

Well, now that I think about it, the majority of my problem was that everything redirected to portal.php instead of giving a 404. So, it used to be that users really did see portal.php often. But, if that's changed, and portal.php is never prominently featured, then it's not that big of a deal.
