Migrating from Joomla, what to do with old links etc?

    I have just migrated all my articles from my joomla site, to wordpress. Currently I am building the site on a /new folder but will soon change it back to the root directory.

    When I do this, all inbound links etc and traffic I current get on the Joomla site, will be broken.

    What is the best way to deal with this? Maybe create a custom 404 message saying there is a new site and then redirect them to the homepage?

    Or, do I use some 301 redirect or something like that?
    Any advice appreciated
    Thanks

    Yes, I have the same issue too: what is the best practise to migrate and preserve the current ranking? 301 redirect in each of the older pages will be ok? Any better ideas?
