# RewriteRule for RSS redirect?

 * I used to hand-code an RSS feed. Now I have WordPress, yay!
 * I got rid of my old feed, but now I see a lot of search errors from users/spiders
   not finding the old feed.
 * I’ve tried this RewriteRule in .htaccess, but it doesn’t seem to be working. 
   ck.xml still gets a file-not-found error.
 * `RewriteRule ^ck.xml$ /blog/?feed=rss2 [R=301,L]`
 * If I try RedirectMatch, the ? gets converted into URL encoding and fails:
 *     ```
       RedirectMatch permanent ^/CK/ck.xml$
       http://www.coreknowledge.org/blog/?feed=rss2
       ```
   
 * error page shows /blog/%3ffeed=rss2
 * (could that just be a character encoding issue on that shtml page?)
 * what’s funny is that the website error log does show the correct path to the 
   feed as a “file not found” when using the RedirectMatch method.
 * Ideas?
