   A handful of old posts were deleted...and now trying to have old posts permalinks redirect to new posts. I placed the .htaccess file (below) in my /blog directory , but the redirect does NOT work ...instead, the browser returns "not found" (from WordPress Coraline 404.php template) when looking for http://mydomain.org/blog/?p=1111 (old post)

   # BEGIN WordPress
   Redirect 301 ?p=1111 http://mydomain.org/blog/?p=2222
   # END WordPress

   I only have about 8 of these redirects to do ...any help would be appreciated.

   hmm... you should use query_string rule
   something like that:
   

   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} p=1111 [NC]
   RewriteRule (.*) http://mydomain.org/blog/?p=2222 [R=301,L]

   or use plugin like:
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirect/
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-pagepost-redirect-plugin/

   worked like a charm ...can't thank you enough. here is the code placed in .htaccess file:

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} p=1111 [NC]
   RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mydomain.org/blog/?p=2222 [R=301,L]
   </IfModule>
   # END WordPress

   great!
