Guys... I changed the url of my iphone app developers page: http://sparkah.com/2013/03/08/experi...-to-get-burnt/

to

iPhone App Programmers Developers in NYC LA SF Reveal 10 Dangers of…

But when I go back up to the first link... it doesn't auto redirect to the 2nd.

Shouldn't it?

I also tried creating a brand new post under the later DATE using the same url but wordpress AUTOMATICALLY changed my url by adding a "-2" to the end.

Anybody know how to make the top link auto fwd AND tell google to 301 to the 2nd url?

    technically... since the dates are all just placemarkers and the URLs following the dates MUST be unique... shouldn't all date variables just 301 redirect to one www???

    i figured it out... you have to modify your 301s AND your .htaccess file.

    the code is tricky. let me know if you need help.
