Hi John, It's been a while since I bothered you ;) I recently moved from the old blog module to the Ventrian NEws Mod for blogging. I had some records in the Ventrian tables already, so when I imported the blog data the ID's changed. For example - http://test.pokerdiy.com/Home/PokerBlog/tabid/483/EntryID/80/Default.aspx is the same as http://www.pokerdiy.com/blogs/featured-poker-blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/207/please-welcome-partypoker-to-pokerdiy-starting-off-with-a-200-freeroll.aspx I have about 60 old blog posts which are showing up in Google Sitemaps as problems - what would you recommend I do to redirect the old ones to the new ones?

Hi Rodney, Sorry for the delay. I have a new method for doing 301 redirects. I have attached the new version here (not yet released). There is a sample ResourceLocationTable.config file in the attachement. You can use that as a guide to inserting items in your own ResourceLocationTable.config file to do the redirects. There is some information about the new method here: 301 redirects using PageBlaster

Thanks John - I tried it but I am not sure if it is working. Here is my config file: It's a bit confusing because I am using URL Master for friendly URLs: I want the old entry: http://www.pokerdiy.com/Home/PokerBlog/tabid/483/EntryID/75/Default.aspx to go to the new page: http://www.pokerdiy.com/blogs/featured-poker-blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/202/pokerdiycd-poker-freeroll-league--tourney-10-results.aspx URL Master converts http://www.pokerdiy.com/Home/PokerBlog/tabid/483/EntryID/75/Default.aspx to http://www.pokerdiy.com//pokerblog/entryid/75.aspx (which is not found) so I put this in my Config file but it seems to have no effect. url="http://www.pokerdiy.com/blogs/featured-poker-blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/202/pokerdiycd-poker-freeroll-league--tourney-10-results.aspx" method="PermanentRedirect" isPattern="False" /> url="http://www.pokerdiy.com/blogs/featured-poker-blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/202/pokerdiycd-poker-freeroll-league--tourney-10-results.aspx" method="PermanentRedirect" isPattern="False" /> url="http://www.pokerdiy.com/blogs/featured-poker-blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/202/pokerdiycd-poker-freeroll-league--tourney-10-results.aspx" method="PermanentRedirect" isPattern="False" /> I put this file in the \bin folder - have I missed anything?

The resourcelocationtable.config file goes in the PageBlaster config folder which is DesktopModules/Snapsis/PageBlaster/Config by default. I'm not sure how the Url Master will affect it. It will depend on if Url Master does a rewrite before PageBlaster gets a look at it though.

Ah, I see - ok, yes, that works great now when I moved the config file.

Sorry, quick question John - are there any recommendations for the number of redirects to put in this file? I have a 100 old URLs - will this impact performance?

It should be very fast even with 100 or more because it is coded to look it up with an index as long as you are not using a pattern (i.e isPattern="True").
