@mollydotcom apparently we automate the import of urls to .htaccess file but the mapping is done in excel first. @jearle is that auto too?

@brightwhite @mollydotcom I’d do a database dump of all the permalinks from the database and then sed/awk that into an htaccess file.

@jearle already more server skillz than I have. If I have a manual (I swear, I only read the necessary parts) I usually do ok @brightwhite

@mollydotcom @brightwhite Give me an example URL from the old blog. I think I have an idea.

@jearle @mollydotcom and this is why I love the internets.

@brightwhite @mollydotcom My hope is that the permalink style is date-based. If that’s the case, it’s just regex.

@jearle @mollydotcom should be easy in that case to change the root domain. When the structure changes completely, it’s much harder.

@brightwhite @mollydotcom redirect all 2011 pages:
RewriteRule ^/2011/(.*)$ newsite.com/2011/$1 [L,NC,NE,R=301]

@jearle Jared, so I'd add that to .htaccess at root for each year? Or if you have time to just do it, I'll buy ALL the virtual beverages!
