How to do a redirect from an old webpage to a new one.

You can look this up anywhere, but I find myself looking it up often enough that I thought I’d post it here.

To make an automatic redirect, simply add this to the head section of an html file that is sitting in the old location:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" Content="5; URL=http:/new.location.com">

where the “5;” refers to the number of seconds before the redirect happens.
