I recently read this report from websitegrader.com about my website, www.vintagetextile.com
"Permanent Redirect Not Found
Search engines often regard www.vintagetextile.com and vintagetextile.com as two different websites unless you take specific measures to signal to them that they are the same site. The best way to handle this situation is to setup a permanent redirect (or a "301" redirect) from one of these sites to the other. This way, any links that are pointing to the secondary site benefit the primary site, from an SEO perspective.
We could not detect a permanent redirect for this site, so it may be experiencing the negative effects of link fragmentation (some of the inbound links may point to www.vintagetextile.com and others to vintagetextile.com) For example, www.vintagetextile.com seems to have 4,926 inbound links whereas vintagetextile.com has 5,353 inbound links. By correctly configuring a permanent 301 redirect, the search rankings might improve as all inbound links are correctly counted for the website."
Does anyone know how to to do this permaent redirect correctly or does anyone have a web reference, e.g., forum, on how to do this?
Thanks, CMA

In order to improve the SEO of my weblog, I'd like to change the formatof my permalinks. My current format is /%post-id%/ and I would like tochange it to /%postname%/ . This is easy. The problem is that afterdoing this, all my 'old' URLs are not reachable anymore and people get
an ugly 404 error. So I was trying to redirect people hitting the old URLs to the new ones. Please note that I have more than 1200 articles,so I cannot use .htaccess or other manual approaches :-) Anyone?
