| Anyone know the code for a redirect that pauses and shows a message on the
screen telling visitors they're being sent to a new page?

Be careful with it - it generally isn't a good idea. Most bots won't respect
it, so you could find your search engine position dropping, and it messes
up the back button. A normal http permanent redirect is probably a better
bet.

David, this is the code I'm using. Is the good kind or the bad kind? I can
easily change it. Thanks.

I found the htaccess file, which is empty. Are you saying to put the above
words "Redirect permanent / http://www.granatedit.com/" into the file just
like that, with nothing else? What about the pages that are in there now
with the above content?

That should redirect everything to your new home page. You can do each page too.
Redirect permanent /page1.htm http://www.granatedit.com/page1.htm
Redirect permanent /page2.htm http://www.granatedit.com/page2.htm
Note the single space..............^

Why is this preferable to what I have now? I'm going to be closing down the
old site in a couple of months.

| Search engines will follow a Redirect permanent in your htaccess file but
most search engines do not like the meta refresh tags.

Instead of seeing a blank page with "We have moved", they just get the new
page. From the user's perspective, it is much like a meta refresh with a 0
time value. Except their back button isn't broken. I guess the downfall is
that they may not realise they are being redirected, and so may not update
their bookmarks (if they have it bookmarked).
For an example[1], go to http://stone.thecoreworlds.net/www/frames/
(redirects to http://dorward.me.uk/www/frames/).
HTH
[1] Sorry, David - just happened to remember that one. :-)

My ISP had put a zero time and I changed it to 5 and put the text in there,
just precisely to alert people that the site has moved. I think I may just
leave it. The old site is going to disappear on 12-31-03 or earlier, anyway.
Thanks, Mark.

I did know there was another layer of redirect in there, but it wasn't
really relevant to the discussion (and I couldn't remember the middle
domain). :-)

Not being in the UK, I haven't ever had that happen. ;-) But it sure sounds
like fun.

Don't ask me why, but I decided to do the hcaccess thing, after all. Seems
the bots were finding my new site with the redirect, but I could see where
the delay is annoying to people Why have two methods of doing the same
thing, anyway?
Just wondering. But I suppose it's a question very much line, "Why don't all
browsers implement the latest specifications?"
Why *don't* they? And why are more than 85% of my visitors using MSIE 6.0?
