redirecting question.. i think!

sassayone · #1 08-18-2006, 01:33 AM

Please bear with me, I will try to explain this properly~ I'm still learning!

I have set up sassaymoms.com I plan on using that domain/site for something in the future.

In the mean time, I set up sassaymoms.com/blog, and installed word press onto it. Everything is working fine there (surprisingly!)

My question is.. how do i redirect, or point people to the sassaymoms.com/blog, if they initially type just sassaymoms.com into their browser? I have tried everything I can imagine.. nothing is working for me and all i can get is the "index" page when i type the "sassaymoms" domain in.

any help appreciated!

Create an index page if you haven't done so already. One way I can think of is on that page create a button directing to the blog address. I am sure some of the higher ranking folks here probably have a cleaner way to re-direct, but that is one way that is pretty simple.

Or....
You can create redirect in your control panel
Log to your control panel>Redirects

Or create a blank index page. Then paste this code

<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0;URL=http://www.sassaymoms.com/blog">

in the Between Head Tag of the Index page. Publish the page and you are done.

I tried that. It did not work right or i didnt do it right... which it seemed easy enough~ i tried a few different ways.. at one point it looked like it would redirect but got hung up and was going crazy at the left bottom corner~ never did redirect.

I will try that asap, thanks. is that something i would do in blue voda? I usually use wysiwyg editors..

BlueVoda IS a WYSIWYG code generator. If you meant an editor, that's ok too. I mean you can use BV or a HTML editor or simply notepad.

Here is the complete page code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<TITLE>Untitled Page</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0;URL=http://www.sassaymoms.com/blog">
<META name="GENERATOR" content="Created by BlueVoda">
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
</BODY>
</HTML>

Copy this code, paste it in your editor, change the red part if needed, and save it as index.html and upload it. If you use BV you only need to open a new page, Click on View, Page HTML, Click on " Between Head " Tag, paste the original code <META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0;URL=http://www.sassaymoms.com/blog">, save as "index" and publish

Naval Design~

It worked! Thank you SO much for taking the time.

What I meant was I'm use to like a "tutorial" style website builder is that makes sense. You know, the kind that walks you through everything holding your hand, but that you later find out won't do everything you need it to?? LOL

This service seems like a perfect inbetween option, but still a bit intimidating for me. I'm learning more everyday, and certainly appreciate the help when I cant figure it out.
