We have a page that several parents have bookmarked that
we are no longer using. How do you setup a redirection
so that it will now ake the visitor to the new page and
notify them of the change?
 
In HTML view, add the following to the Head section:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="6; URL=http://www.yourwebsite.com">
The value given to 'content' is the number of seconds before the refresh
will take place; the value given to 'URL' is the page you want your visitor
sent to. You may also want to include a text link to the page in case your
visitor's browser does not support the 'refresh'.

There are many ways to do this. One is to replace the
original content with a page containing your message, and
also a tag such as this in the <head> section of the page.

<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="10; url=http://www.newsite.com/whatever.htm">

Another is to replace your page with an ASP page that
contains a statement like:
<%
response.redirect("http://www.newsite.com/whatever.htm")
%>
This is less intrusive than the first method, and it
behaves better with the Back button. However, it does
require you to change your filename extension, and any
informational page would have to reside on the new site.

Another is to configure the Web server to redirect a
single page, an entire folder, or an entire folder tree.
You can have this redirection point to a single file, or
to a parallel structure. You can also code the redirection
as "permanent", which causes some browsers to permanently
change URLs, such as bookmarks.
