[Nfb-web] NFB of Tennessee Web Site Redirect

Sat Jul 30 16:37:55 UTC 2011

Hello Michael and everyone,

        I ended up replacing their old site home page with a copy of the 
home page of their new site. Their new site is now reachable from both URLS. 
This is a temporary fix so visitors land on their new site. I still need to 
do something about their password so I can update their site name servers so 
the old site can be removed from NFB Net making the space available for 
another affiliate. Thanks again for your help.

Peter,

Thomas's suggestion is probable the best and correct was of doing
this. Howevere if you are unable to figure out how to do this on
NFBnet then you can always change ethee front page of the old website
with information redirecting them to the new site. On the same page
you could in clude ea meeta refresh statement in the <head> section
that automaticly does the redirection.
