Blog moved to new URL and redirection in place against old URL

Hello,

I wanted to move my blog to an easier URL, and I have done so - the new URLs are:

However when looking at the logs for the site, lots of people were trying to access via the old entries, so I have put in place a simple re-direction piece of software that re-writes the URL from the old to the new without yopu having to know.  Once the new URLs take over in popularity I will remove this software.

Obviously I would like you to change your Favourites and Reader software as soon as possible.

For those who are interested, the re-direction software can be found at http://www.isapirewrite.com/ and the 1 line I had to put into their httpd.ini file was:

	RewriteRule (.*)david_overton_blog_more_technical(.*) $1doverton$2

Not exactly difficult to manage and that changes the longer name to the shorter one whereever it is found.

ttfn

David
