I had to redirect one of my biggest sites and it is so much easier to do it all through the htaccess file, instead of page by page. Thanks for your help. Randa, thanks for the post.

I do have a backup copy- after I did a redirect for every stinkin' post, I definitely made sure a copy stayed here on my PC. @Chris- thanks for that warning, I appreciate it.

Be careful with wordpress because it also likes to overwrite your .htaccess file occasionally when you won't expect it. Like on a plugin install or a configuration change. Just keep a backup of your newly updated file, so you can change it back in a flash :) Glad to see you figured out your issue.

I have had problems with my permalinks the whole time I've had this blog. I wonder if that would have solved it. I love the look of your site by the way.... going over to read through it. @MommyZabs - thank you for that. I have had problems with my permalinks the whole time I’ve had this blog.

I just fixed my new blog based on the above code in my file teamed with setting my permalinks in the options file to date and named based. i hope that saves you some time! i just realized you don’t need the last 2 lines of that code- i had those for another reason.
