When moving blog.chaching.ie to www.chaching.ie/blog we used a 301 redirect. The old site was hosted on Apache which allowed for use of htaccess files. A 301 redirect allows for a website to be moved from one domain name to a new domain name without getting penalised on SEO by search engines such as google. So to move an entire website from one domain to a new domain place the following in your htaccess:
redirect 301 / http://www.chaching.ie/blog/

Ever wondered if you site displays correctly across different computers and across different browsers?
Many designers keep extra machines around just for that specific purpose, maybe even employing virtualisation software to keep down the amount of needed hardware. A genius called Johann Rocholl has removed the need for all of this complex infrastructure to test websites – check out browsershots.org
You can check how you webpage looks across many different systems and even restrict your results so you only see what you choose to. Just submit your website and wait a few minutes while the screenshots are collected for you to show how your website looks to different browsers. Great site for anybody with a website.

Anybody else ever do some web development work, look at it in Safari & Firefox and feel it all just looks great, only to later find out from a user that the page is displaying back to front and inside out on Internet Explorer?
Or if your really prepared maybe you have a copy of Windows on a PC, dual boot, or maybe use commercial products such as crossover to allow you do test your site on Internet Explorer.
Instead of doing any of these you can now simply download ies4osx which is essential ies4linux ported to run on mac. You will need to install Darwine firstly though.
Right now all I can seem to install is IE 6, so I need to figure out how to add in IE 7 & IE 8.
