Rewrite URL to only show value of $_GET argument

[Andrew Martin]

Steve,

Thanks for the suggestion. How would this additional check change the
solution I proposed on 9/16? It looks like it would prevent the rewrite
from occurring if other arguments (instead of title) were present?

Thanks again,

Andrew
