Hi... I am having a problem making a smooth transition from my old photoblogging software Greymatter which was running cgi scripts to this awesome php based program. I still have my old greymatter site which is up if you type the link http://www.folkphotography.com/blog.html

Pixelpost is installed in a folder called blog so the link to it is
http://www.folkphotography.com/blog

I really want to get rid of my redirect for the old gm site and also largely want to have my link at photoblogs.org go the pixelpost blog site and not the old one, to avoid the redirect and to pick up on the RSS feed. Is there a way to do this? How can I make a blog.html link go directly to the blog/index.php site? I am willing to junk the old GM site if need be.

Thanks for any help with this!

google '.htacces redirect' if this doesnt make sense

basically, you'll have a file titled .htaccess in the root of your domain with blog.html

in that file you will have


Redirect blog.html http://yoursite.com/blog/index.php


this will push all the server traffic instantly from blog.html to the link you provide.

however, i dont know how to handle the rss feed deal with photoblogs.org, i suggest asking on the photoblogs.org mailing list, im sure brandon could give you a answer as if to how/if his system can do that.
