I'm using Expression Engine and I redesigned my site which included changing the site url from <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.biom.net/">www.biom.net/</a><!-- w --><b>dojo</b>.php to <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.biom.net/">www.biom.net/</a><!-- w --><b>index</b>.php.<br /><br />When I look at AWStats I'm seeing that I'm still getting hits to pages like /<b>dojo</b>.php/photoblog/rss_2.0/ and /<b>index</b>.php/photoblog/rss_2.0/. Does this mean that someone had either bookmarked the old .../dojo.php page, or opened it before I made the conversion to .../index.php?<br /><br />And, do I need to do something like a 'redirect' to point users from old bookmarked pages to the new urls?<br /><br />I've never done this type of conversion before and I'm concerned about the confusion it may cause my existing readers.<br /><br />Thanks for your insights!<!--content-->
