Old Address:
homepage.mac.com/atdipietro/ddocs.html

New Site:
http://web.mac.com/atdipietro/iWeb/D....com/Home.html

I want to keep my old "homepage.mac.com/atdipietro/ddocs.html" address active becuase it has a bunch of incoming links to it from other sites. So, can someone think of a way to make the old address display the new content? I don't even care if I have to re-direct the traffic. I just want to preserve the incoming links to that old site. Thanks.

meta redirect or javascript.

neither are very fun, but that's how it goes.

just be sure to fill out the html with real words saying the site has moved with a new link.

Create an index file with the following content in the head tags and upload it to your old address:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;URL=http://web.mac.com/atdipietro/iWeb/DisciplinedDocs.com/Home.html">

php enabled? if so you also do a 301 redirect, which search engines like better than meta or javascript, they say
