Easy 301 redirect in Wordpress
OK, let me qualify this first by saying I am not an idiot and I do know how to do a redirect in my .htaccess file. However, something really weird happened on my server where I cannot see my .htaccess file through my ftp client (and yes, I have my client set to show hidden files), yet I know it exists because I am using permalink rewrites and I can see it through wordpress (under presentation). It is not writable so I have been looking for a different way to implement an easy 301 redirect from prestonwily.com to www.prestonwily.com.Enter Greg Boser (aka WebGuerrilla) and a nice WordPress Redirection Plugin. It was simple to use and now I don’t have to worry about messing with my .htaccess file.This is going to save me a bunch of headaches from Google treating my www and non-www sites differently. Thanks for the plugin, Greg.Also, if you’re interested in this SEO stuff I highly recommend SEO Rockstars on WebmasterRadio.fm Greg and Todd Friesman (aka Oilman) are the hosts and last week even featured Google engineer Matt Cutts.

So does that mean that people that don’t know how to do a redirect on .htaccess files are idiots?

If you’ve been doing this as long as I have and can’t figure it out, yes, you are probably an idiot.
