From "domain.com" to "domain.com/blog"

    I have a website at domain.com of which the static pages are indexed thoroughly by Google. I recently reindexed all the pages in Wordpress and it was installed in domain.com/blog.

    How do I tell Google via htaccess to go from all pages in domain.com site e.g "domain.com/folder/subfolder/page.shtml" or "domain.com/folder/" except the "domain.com/forum" to the new website at "domain.com/blog"? What is the safest way that won't hurt SEO and preserve my rank in SR? Thanks in advance!

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^forum/?$
    rewriteRule (.*) http://domain.com/blog/$1 [R=301,L]

    No, I just delete everything in the htaccess and replace it with your given code. How to I add that to the lines? Here is the current content of htaccess before modification. I currently use .shtml for all my static pages, hence the includes, etc and use PHP files as include. I guess these can be omitted since the Wordpress files are all PHP right? Thanks so much!

    Hi again, it seems to work! :D But one last thing, all my "recent topics" i.e the included php snippet from the forum came out weird. Is that because some of the existing

    and

    I tried to remove either but the result is still the same. The recent topics section displays:
    I used this code to display 15 recent topics in the sidebar.

    You're really a great help! Thanks so much!
