Fixing a single blog config in CommunityServer 2.0

I've mentioned some of these problems before in previous posts here and here.

I've set up CS2.0 on my home server in a "single blog configuration".

Unfortunately, that doesn't completely cover all of the things that should be changed to make the single blog configuration work.  Here are a few more...

After following the standard instructions for setting up a single blog config, you'll probably notice a few things.
  1. In your exceptions report (My Settings, Administration, Reports, Exceptions Report) you'll start to see a number of "File not found" or "Directory not found" exceptions.  They'll all appear to use "shortlink.ashx" somewhere in the URL.
  2. Clicking on links from within the administration section that should take you to a post to view it will result in an unhelpful error page.
I fixed this by following the instructions someone finally posted in the CS forums here.
Cannot find shortlink.ashx frequently on single blog install.
