Since selling rights to the ZeppOS Total Site Management software I invented, I have been looking for a CMS to migrate my personal sites to. I had to do a double-take when I saw that WordPress is a viable CMS solution as I am consistently an early adapter but had somehow missed its slow transition into a CMS. After several weeks of investigation and testing it out, I am excited to endorse WordPress along with a select list of plugins to comprise a great website backend.
When migrating to WordPress, one of the biggest issues is maintaining the search ranking. The search engines need to be told that the site has moved; this is called a 301-Redirect. There are several ways to set a 301 Redirect, but the easiest method on a Linux based hosting account is to simply update the .htaccess to reflect the outdated page path and new new page path. An example:
Redirect 301 /old-page.asp http://www.yourdomain.com/new-page.php
