    OK guys hoping you can help.

    I have moved my blog to a new domain name and setup a redirect on the old domain as follows:

    
Redirect 301 / http://www.thetechyblog.com/
    Code (markup):
    It all works fine but if they try and access a page on the old blog like:

    
http://www.OLDSITEURL.COM/category/computers-and-internet
    Code (markup):
    It tries to redirect to:

    
http://www.thetechyblog.com/category/computers-and-internet
    Code (markup):
    Which does not exist. It it possible to set the redirect up so no matter what page they visit on the old site it simply redirects to:

    
http://www.thetechyblog.com
    Code (markup):

    Thanks in Advance :)

    Found a solution I used the following code instead:

    
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.thetechyblog.com/ [R=301,L]
    Code (markup):
    I hope this is correct?
