However, it occurs to me that we might want to preserve an archived version of the old pages, at least for a while, until the new pages supersede them completely.
Usually you just foward the old URL to the new URL. Either through .htaccess, which Google likes best:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^my-old-page.html$ new-page.html [R=301,L] </IfModule>
Or use an HTML header entry on the old page:
<HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="1; url=http://example.com/new-page.html"> <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> window.location.href = "http://example.com/new-page.html" </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY> {snip}
Contact me directly whoever's doing the changes if you need/want help.
Best, Michael
