One of the problems with converting to Wordpress is that my old URLs stopped working. I thought maybe I’d get around to hacking around with regular expressions, but there’s a problem with the format of posts changing over time, and I’m only an orange belt regex ninja.

With the help of Google, I came across a plugin for redirecting pages called Redirection. It can be used for these lost links, or even for making a nice short link to a longer page. It’s nice enough to look up and show all your 404s, so you can keep an eye on what you’ve not redirected. It also allows for a default redirect, custom redirects based on referrer and so forth. Jolly good.
