Nvu redirect

[Vic Dura]

Does anyone know how to use Nvu to redirect to a url when a browser
loads the root index.htm file?

We have a site that is moving to a new location. What I would like to
do is replace the contents of the old-site index.htm file with
something that will show the user a message like:

This site has moved to http://www.NewLocation.org/
Please note the changes in your address book.
You will be automatically redirected to http://www.NewLocation.org/
in 30 seconds, or click here to go there immediately.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks.

Vic;

Check out http://www.macalester.edu/cit/docs/howto/urlredirect/ for a
very simple write up on how to do what you're asking. It's not NVu
instructions though...it's the straight poop on html redirects.

If you have access to "professional" features on the old space, it
would be better to have the HTTP redirect code set up

Some search engine spiders will apparently take notice of a 301
permanent redirect, if they have occasion to respider while the
redirect is still operational - the ideal implementation being to
replace the old references with the new in the index
