A new website tool for me

I've always found myself looking for tools to help do what a computer should be able to do. Right now, I want to learn how to better control access to my website and my blog. Turns out that adding a "htaccess" file can do a lot of behind-the-scenes tricks like automatic redirects. I'm going to try this to get my old blog page off of Google. Google says until it sees the redirect, it will still crawl the site, although the bare-bones content there should reduces its value considerably. Here is a helpful guide to the tricks you can employ.
