Using .htaccess to redirect from one domain to another

Hi, I recently purchased a new domain for my WordPress site and I want to redirect anyone who visits using an old domain to the new one. I haven't moved servers, just added a new domain.

Changing URL schemes in wordpress without breaking old URLs

I started a blog and after a couple posts decided I didn't like the /2009/03/26/foo-bar scheme for URLs (I changed to just /foo-bar). But for the couple posts posted before I changed this, I want to add rewrite rules so the old URLs don't break.

Can a PHP file name (or a dir in its full path) have UTF-8 characters?

I would like to access a PHP file whose name has UTF-8 characters in it. The file does not have a BOM in it. It just contains an echo statement that displays a few unicode characters. Accessing the PHP page from the browser (FireFox 3.0.8, IE7) results in HTTP error 500. There are two entries in the Apache log (file is /க.php; the let...

foo.com/alice vs. foo.com/users/alice

It's of course nice to give users friendly URLs for their content on your site. But how best to do that? There are a lot of advantages to something like foo.com/users/alice, most importantly that you aren't cluttering up your root namespace. But I think simplicity for users trumps all that. A lot of big sites seem to agree (friendfee...
