   Hi, used to host my blog at http://www.mydomain.com/blog
   Now hosted at http://www.mydomain.com/
   Transfer went well !

   BUT I want old pretty permalinks to find their own posts..
   essentially
   http://www.mydomain.com/blog/2005/22/11/oldpost
   to get to / redirect to
   http://www.mydomain.com/2005/22/11/oldpost

   I figured I could do this with a rewrite in .htaccess - but so far no go...
   Anyone know the correct rules, AND the correct location for THIS rewrite? Add it to (currently empty) /blog directory OR to the wordpress .htaccess in the root ?
   Tried multiple times so far - no go :-(
   Thanks

   ps apache 1.3.34 fwiw

   FWIW
   this ended up working.
   RewriteRule ^/*blog(/(.*))?$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$2 [R=301,L]
   (all on one line in the .htaccess file in the WordPress section immediately after rewrite engine on)
