I constantly find myself needing .htaccess code for a 301 redirect of some kind. I frequently Google to find what I need. Eventually I bookmarked a couple sites for easy access. However, I finally decided to make the information more readily available and saved a txt file in my code library. No idea why it took me so long to come up with this revolutionary idea [/sarcasm]. Anyway, I thought I’d post it here for posterity and to maybe help someone else find it and add it to their files. Feel free to copy/paste away.
