- Put this in the <head> section of your old blog: <META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="2;URL=http://www.yournewpage.com/"> The '2' means it will redirect to the new page in 2 seconds -- change it if you want. I think bots will obey this code too, so they should get to your new blog through your old one...
- To redirect blogs there are a number of solutions. See :
- Which WordPress? Was your blog hosted on WordPress.com? If so, then you need to modify your template with the meta header mentioned above to redirect to a new page. If you no longer have access to your WordPress.com account, you're out of luck. If your WordPress blog was on a hosted account that you still have access to the best and most effective thing to do is to set up an .htaccess file with the old URLs redirecting to the new URLs. Since every ISP uses a different hosting engine (Apache on Linux, Apache on Windows, Solaris, Netscape, Windows IIS, etc.) you'll want to check with your tech support to find the best way to do that. A simple Google search on: htaccess permanent redirect Will get you all the skinny you need to experiement with .htaccess rules. Regards, Rich
