    Hi,

    I just moved my blog from http://stevesblogen.i2mfan.com/ to www.mcgrath.ca.

    I added this below to my .htaccess(old blog):(found this in the forum)

    Options +FollowSymlinks
    RewriteEngine on
    rewriterule (.*) http://www.mcgrath.ca/$1 [r=301,L]

    But if I click any URL(blog post, category...) on the old blog, I go to the main page of the new blog and not it's corresponding URL.

    The same structure was kept.

    Thanks

    If a do a Google search on one article with a full URL, it goes to the new site and to the good post. I even try not post like a date or a category and both were redirected fine.

    I was not sure and wrote it like that:

    Options +FollowSymlinks
    RewriteEngine on
    Redirect 301 / http://www.mcgrath.ca/

    I often saw the last line but taught it would only go to the main page only. Plus, I was not sure how to write it alone or with other lines.

    Thanks both of you!
