Blog Moved

Today I decided to move the blog a little, so that it should be easier to navigate. The blog is now on the root directory of the blog (rather than the old /blog/ subdirectory), and my 5 step guide will be incorporated into the site in as static pages in some way or other. Thanks to Malin @ Cactuss.com for the idea about moving my blog down to a lower directory. I have put in 301 redirects so the previous posts and directory, so no body get’s lost !

So, give it up for the new roots !

Moving Wordpress

To be honest it was all pretty easy, here is an outline of my steps

1. I moved the files down a directory, which is easy with FTP.
2. Then I went to the control panel at the new URL and changed the options for the wordpress URL and the Blog URL
3. I delete the .htaccess file and make Wordpress to create a new one.
4. The 8 articles I wrote already have a few links so I added some lines to manually move them via a 301 redirect.i.e
   1. redirect 301 blog/i-follow/ http://www.preblogging.com/i-follow/ (redirect this reference to here )
   2. redirect 301 /blog/ http://www.preblogging.com/
5. Updated my reference to the feed in FeedBurner so that the RSS link worked again
6. Posed this message !

Yes it’s easy and it was about 10 minutes work !
