    Since you’re not actually changing the root URL of the site, the best thing for you to do is probably to set up 301 redirects from /site to /blog.

    If you can easily map your old blog posts from the addresses they had on MT to the new addresses they’ll have on WordPress, you really should set up a 301 redirect for each of your old posts. If you can’t, then you need to at least set up one 301 redirect from the old location to the new location.

    Curtiss – thanks so much for the response!

    The URL structure is incredibly similar.

    old URL: http://www.ibcgalveston.com/site/2011/06/almost-happy-birthday-america.html

    new URL: http://www.ibcgalveston.com/blog/2011/06/almost-happy-birthday-america/

    I’ve attempted a few different takes on a redirect but none are working. Any advice?

    It’s been a long time since I did URL rewriting in htaccess myself (I normally either let WordPress handle it all, or I write a PHP script to handle it since my redirects are not usually as cut-and-dry as yours); but I think you might be able to use something like:

    rewriteRule (.*)\/site\/(.*)\.html /$1/blog/$2/ [R=301]
