301 URL Redirecting/Forwarding

By | News | No Comments

Being unaware of the potential WordPress had to offer, I simply installed it to /blog of the root of “mattvogt.com”. Most people’s portfolio/tutorialio sites have a blog that they share their news and thoughts etc… My entire site is my blog (without the complaining).

Doing this spawned an issue: How do I get people to go from mattvogt.com to mattvogt.com/blog ?

For your information, Google doesn’t index URLs that use 301 redirects by writing a htaccess file in the root (oops).

For the time being, my site isn’t listing in Google because of the above experiment (Read why here). I’m currently trying php forward that can be found at the bottom in the link below:

The ball’s in Google’s court now….
