Here's the deal - I have rebuilt my entire site with DNN some time ago, and love it.  One problem I am experiencing is that I have old links to my site floating around ... most of these don't matter .. however, a couple of key areas (like Google Local Maps) is dragging in updating my listed homepage from the prior:

Ex:  www.example.com/index.htm

...to the new basic URL:

EX  www.example.com

I was therefore wondering if there was an easy way for me to create an .htm file or page on my DNN site that simply redirects any browser who hits that old .htm link  ( www.example.com/index.htm ) to my new home page.  Anybody?

not from DNN, but of course you can create the file yourself in the root of site. An other option would be to point the file not found error (404) in IIS to an aspx file that permanently redirects (with response code 301) to the homepage. The aspx file would look like this:

<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false"%>
<script runat="server">
        Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
             Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently";
             Response.AddHeader("Location","/");
    End Sub
</script>

Some more info can be found here: http://www.mcanerin.com/EN/articles/301-redirect-404-error.asp
