In my searches one of the questions that came up was the clear definition of 301 redirect? And this is one of the best articles which I could find on the subject.

Herman Drost’s articles are clearly written and his contribution is worth mentioning. See below on his take on a 301.

How to Redirect a Web Page Using a 301 Redirect
By Herman Drost

You’ve just redesigned some pages of your web site. The
pages have high search engine rankings that you don’t want
to lose. How can you safely redirect web site traffic from
your old pages to the new pages without losing your
rankings? You can do this by using a ” 301 redirect ”

What is 301 redirect?

301 redirect is the best method to preserve your current
search engine rankings when redirecting web pages or a web
site. The code “301″ is interpreted as “moved permanently”.
After the code, the URL of the missing or renamed page is
noted, followed by a space, then followed by the new
location or file name. You implement the 301 redirect by
creating a .htaccess file.

What is a .htaccess file?

When a visitor/spider requests a web page, your web server
checks for a .htaccess file. The .htaccess file contains
specific instructions for certain requests, including
security, redirection issues and how to handle certain
errors.

How to implement the 301 Redirect

1. To create a .htaccess file, open notepad, name and save
the file as .htaccess (there is no extension).

2. If you already have a .htaccess file on your server,
download it to your desktop for editing.

3. Place this code in your .htaccess file:

redirect 301 /old/old.htm http://www.you.com/new.htm

4. If the .htaccess file already has lines of code in it,
skip a line, then add the above code.

5. Save the .htaccess file

6. Upload this file to the root folder of your server.

7. Test it by typing in the old address to the page you’ve
changed. You should be immediately taken to the new
location.

Notes: Don’t add “http://www” to the first part of the
statement – place the path from the top level of your site
to the page. Also ensure that you leave a single space
between these elements:

redirect 301 (the instruction that the page has moved)

/old/old.htm (the original folder path and file name)

http://www.you.com/new.htm (new path and file name)

When the search engines spider your site again they will
follow the rule you have created in your .htaccess file.
The search engine spider doesn’t actually read the
.htaccess file, but recognizes the response from the
server as valid.

During the next update, the old file name and path will be
dropped and replaced with the new one. Sometimes you may
see alternating old/new file names during the transition
period, plus some fluctuations in rankings. According to
Google it will take 6-8 weeks to see the changes reflected
on your pages.

Other ways to implement the 301 redirect:

1. To redirect ALL files on your domain use this in your
.htaccess file if you are on a unix web server:

redirectMatch 301 ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com
redirectMatch permanent ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com

You can also use one of these in your .htaccess file:

redirect 301 /index.html http://www.domain.com/index.html
redirect permanent /index.html http://www.domain.com/index.html
redirectpermanent /index.html http://www.domain.com/index.html

This will redirect “index.html” to another domain using a
301-Moved permanently redirect.

2. If you need to redirect http://mysite.com to
http://www.mysite.com and you’ve got mod_rewrite enabled on
your server you can put this in your .htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

or this:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Tip: Use your full URL (ie http://www.domain.com) when
obtaining incoming links to your site. Also use your full
URL for the internal linking of your site.

3. If you want to redirect your .htm pages to .php pages
andd you’ve got mod_rewrite enabled on your server you can
put this in your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*).htm$ /$1.php

4. If you wish to redirect your .html or .htm pages to
.shtml pages because you are using Server Side Includes
(SSI) add this code to your .htaccess file:

AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml .html .htm
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
DirectoryIndex index.shtml index.html

Frequently Asked Question:
What’s the difference in using a 301 redirect versus a meta redirect?

Meta Redirect
To send someone to a new page (or site) put this in the head of your
document:

<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”10;
url=http://mynewsite.com/”>

Content=”10; tells the browser to wait 10 seconds before
transfer, choose however long you would like, you can even
choose 0 to give a smoother transition, but some (really
old) browsers aren’t capable of using this so I’d suggest
putting a link on that page to your new site for them.

With a meta redirect the page with the redirect issues a
200 OK status and some other mechanism moves the browser
over to the new URL. With a 200 OK on both pages, the
search engine wants to index both the start page and the
target page – and that is a known spam method (set up
10,000 domains full of keywords for the search engines to
index then meta redirect the “real visitor” after 0 or 1
seconds to the “real site” ) so using it gets you
penalized.

The 301 redirect simply issues a Permanently Moved message
in the HTTP header which tells the search engine to only
index the target URL.

Conclusion: The safest way to redirect old web pages to the
new pages or old web site to the new web site and keep the
same search engine rankings is to use the 301 redirect. It
will also pass on the page rank from your old site to your
new site.

Recently I had a problem with Mozilla Thunderbird while I was in the process of cleaning out my inbox. The inbox index was completely corrupted and really had a hard time finding a solution to rebuild the index. The following article for which I have provided a link had the answer.

http://8help.osu.edu/3107.html

To restore corrupted mailboxes:

Exit Thunderbird.
In your profile folder, open the Mail subfolder, and then the subfolder for that mail account.
Delete the *.msf file for the folder (mailbox) that is giving you problems– e.g., if your inbox is the one with problems, delete inbox.msf. Do NOT delete the file named Inbox (with no filename extension), as it contains your messages.
Restart Thunderbird. It will analyze your message file and rebuild the index file (table of contents) from your existing messages.

To help keep your system healthy after you get it working again, compact your mail folders regularly, and move messages you want to keep out of your inbox into their own mail folder.

Where is my Profile Folder?

Windows XP/Vista, the path is usually Application Data/Thunderbird/Profilesxxxxxxxx.default, where xxxxxxxx is a random string of 8 characters. Just browse to C:/Documents and Settings/[User Name]/Application Data/Thunderbird/Profiles and the rest should be obvious.
On Windows 95/98/Me, the path is usually C:/WINDOWS/Application Data/Thunderbird/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default
On Linux, the path is usually ~/.thunderbird/xxxxxxxx.default/
On Mac OS X, the path is usually ~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default/

____________________________________________________

This process can be used to recover the lost files in your Mozilla Thunderbird inbox, it forces Thunderbird to rebuild the index for the specific profile. It can therefore be used in a much wider context.

How to Design your own Fast Track intensive driving course.

CarCaptain driving school specialises in designing an intensive course for the learner driver in accordance with his/her scheduled availability and requirements. The first decision the Learner driver has to make is as to whether they want an intensive course which will put them onto a Fast Track method of obtaining their driving licence. This is often governed by the budget they have available at the time that they consider the course.

14 days from first contact to licence. There is no need to wait!

(14 days after you have committed to doing the course you can be in receipt of your full driving licence. This is with the proviso that you already hold a valid UK provisional driving licence and that you pass your theory test at the date we manage to arrange it for you.)

The decision tree for this type of  Fast Track Intensive driving course will go along the following lines;

• Have you obtained your provisional driving license from the DVLA?
• What tests need to be taken, theory test?, – practical driving test?
• Determine the number of Hours of driving tuition you would require. Consult the table.
• How many hours of driving have you completed; how many of the  hours are under formal tuition ~ from a registered driving instructor (ADI)? How many hours of informal driving instruction ~ have you received from the Dad, Mom friend or Girlfriend etc..?
• Have you done any Practical driving tests previously, how many and what where the things you failed on?
• When are you available, and/or when do you want to start the course?
• What times are you available for the structured Intensive (Crash) course?
• When do you want to do your practical driving test or what time restraints govern the completion date of your practical driving test?

What the CarCaptain team will do when you have given them the information required;

• Arrange to send you the course material you require for your course.
• Book the theory and or the practical driving test to suite the arrangements made with the CarCaptain team.
• Match you up with the Test Centres that suit your place of residence or the place where you will be staying while you are on your Fast Track intensive driving course.
• Match you up with a CarCaptain DSA approved driving instructor. (ADI) To suit your Fast Track intensive driving course and to guide and help you every step of the way.
• Confirm and monitor the Tests booked to suite your schedule and Diary. No need to be on a long wait.

CarCaptain specialises in getting you a short notice test and Fast Track course to the requirements of the demanding professional student who realises that;

• time is money,
• a quick finish is cheaper and much more cost effective,
• getting it done quickly is much more rewarding and less tedious.

The impossible just takes a little longer to do.

Never ever give up!

If someone accepts the recommendations of your learner insurance agent, he or she could easily be overpaying by 50% or some extra. Let’s be honest with ourselves because they don’t always have your best interests in fact. When it comes to finding cheap learner insurance for new drivers because knowledge is power and you will be most successful at finding cheap insurance for young drivers by making an effort to understand both the process and your selections. Many online insurance companies exist to offer low cost insurance and new drivers or people on tight budgets are targeted by these agent or companies.

Learner insurance rates can be different by hundreds of dollars, not only between companies, but also within the same company or agent discovering low cost insurance for a new driver can be skillful if you have enough of the right questions. You might be able to get low cost learner insurance for your new driver that has completed a safe driver program or a defensive driving course that is may be up to 15%.but in the other case if you have a new driver who has successfully completed driving course, you will want to inquire about a discount. Mostly learner insurance companies know that a new driver who takes these courses reduce their chances of having an accident by 50% and more. Some companies offer low cost insurance to a new driver who has successfully completed a driver’s education class and these discounts sometimes up to 10% can apply to bodily injury, property damage, medical payments, personal injury, and comprehensive/collision coverage as well.
If you are a learner driver and looking to lower your premium, you need to lower your risk to the insurance company and you can achieve this by taking a driving course locally or online. Further if you are still in school, check the program of study. Your school may probably offer Drivers Education and if you choose online, make sure you choose a reputable company for learner insurance. As a whole, you can only lower your premium so much insurance companies’ pays off in the short run. If you maintain a clean driving record, insurance will not be as big of a pain as it was in the beginning for all insurers.
