After finding out that some people haven’t figured out I’ve moved, I’ve instituted redirects from both previous versions of my blog. It’s quite seamless for those who went to the norunnyeggs.eggstor.com version; a PHP trick redirects the person to the page they were expecting to see here. It wasn’t easy to find how to do that, but I did.
For those that were still going to the Blogspot version, I had to use a Meta Refresh tag, and (at least for the moment), it will dump them to the main page. Blogger doesn’t allow PHP headers to be set, and I didn’t set up the structure here like Blogger did for me there.
I wish I knew you needed a redirect, there are several ways to do it, I could have helped you out.
If you change your refresh time from 10 to 0, it will automatically redirect.
I left the refresh time relatively high at the Blogger site because I wanted the message to be heard by those few that still went there.
One of the reasons I’m hesitant to take the plunge is that all of the links that bring people to my site will then be dead — right? I’m in a subdirectory and would prefer to move to the root directory. Did you find this was a problem?
Jim, check your e-mail. It wasn’t much of a problem, though I had the added bit of moving the database because I changed hosts.
