I bit the bullet and moved my blog to another host, where I'm now running it on Wordpress. It's http://copperrobot.com

I plan to continue using libsyn as hosting for the audio files indefinitely, because I am satisfied with that service.

I'm leaving my existing blog posts where they are, but of course they're all getting new URLs because the domain is moving.

Which leads to my question: I want to write a .htaccess file that will direct all my old URLs to their new counterparts.

For example:

http://copperrobot.com/index.php?post_id=500741

would redirect to

http://copperrobot.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=500741

Also, in a couple of special cases, I want to move the old URLs to URLs on the new server—blog posts I was using as an "about" file, and embedded Google calendar, and so forth.

Googling isn't helping here—I'm not finding instructions for writing this .htaccess file, not in a format I'm capable of understanding. Hoping someone reading this can help me out.

Thanks!

Wordpress does have an Import function, however it does not recognize libsyn as a supported blog engine (not sure if the ones listed under Wordpress is what libsyn is using).

I'm not sure why you want to redirect every libsyn post to your new Wordpress site. I simply redirected from my libsyn blog's index.html page to my new host.

Go to Settings>>Advanced and enter

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.mydomain.com/index.php">

I would suggest you submit a support ticket for assitance from the libsyn technical wizards

I've explained this very badly. Let me try again.

I started a new blog at a hosting company called Westhost. It's the same name and domain as my old blog here at libsyn. Until a few days ago, if you went to copperrobot.com, that URL sent you to my libsyn blog—now it goes to my blog at Westhost.

So far so good. Everything working according to plan.

However, I have about 50 posts at my old blog. The old blog is still exactly where it was before (here at libsyn) but it has a new domain: copperrobot.libsyn.com. That means all my incoming links from other blogs are broken.

What I want to do is redirect links to individual posts on my old blog to their new URLs. For example, I want to redirect this link:

http://copperrobot.com/index.php?post_id=505157

to its new URL

http://copperrobot.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=505157

As I understand it, I need to put a .htaccess file on my new blogs server, but I don't know how to write that file, and Googling for answers isn't helping out.

Is that more clear? Can anyone help me with that?
