 * The problem I’m facing is the if I put the following
 * `RewriteRule ^?q=node/95$ http://www.example.com/some_url/`
 * It doesn’t work. I’ve also tried numerous variations. It almost seems like the
   redirecting to index.php that wordpress does is causing an issue. When I use 
   the live header extension for Firefox, access to ?q=node/95 is redirected to ?
   q=node/95.

 * The biggest issue I am facing is that while most of the engines and feed readers
   have added the new URLs for everything, I’m still getting hits, like above, to
   pages that don’t exist. I’m not sure what I can do to solve the problem, as every
   attempt to redirect has failed. I would expect
    `RewriteRule ^/q=node/95$ http://
   www.example.com [R=301,L]` should work, but all I get taken to is the frontpage.
 * If someone knows some .htaccess-fu and can help, please. Attempts at Googling
   an answer have failed to yield anything helpful.
 * The changes from a .htaccess should be instantaneous, right?
 * Oh yeah, using the live headers plugin for Firefox, I noticed that the 301 is
   getting passed, but it’s just getting passed back to the same url, that is, sean-
   ward.com/?q=node/95 has moved to sean-ward.com/?q=node/95.
