Redirect code and delay

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..............^
