Continuing on my .htaccess requirements from my previous post, I have finally completely solved it.
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^tombammann\.homedns\.org
RewriteRule (.*) http://tombammann.org/$1 [R=301,L]
The above two lines converts any subdomain, i.e. http://www.tombammann.org or http://wwwwwasdfasdf.tombammann.org into http://tombammann.org.
RewriteRule ^journal/(.+)?$ http://tombammann.org/$1 [QSA,L]
Redirect /journal http://tombammann.org
The above two lines are used because I used to have wordpress installed to http://tombammann.org/journal, so basically these two lines deletes the /journal without chopping off any of the rest of the URL.
RewriteRule ^software-i-use /category/computing [R=301,L]
And here this line converts any url containing the string of text software-i-use to the new /category/computing category of my wordpress blog. (Previously my computing page was a static page).
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php
# END WordPress
So happy I’ve got that all working now
