They're not really very similar. Read http://scottstuff.net/blog/ articles/2005/11/17/a-little-help-for-migrating-to-typo, I explain things a bit there (note to self: I *really* need to start building a manual for Typo). The short version is that there's a table in the DB called 'redirects' with two fields (well, two that matter) called from_path and to_path. When Typo can't handle a specific URL on its own, it looks in the redirects table for help. So, you can put '100/ i_like_cheese.html', '/articles/2005/06/11/i_like_cheese' into redirects, and Typo will automatically move users from http:// www.myblog.com/100/i_like_cheese.html to http://www.myblog.com/ articles/2005/06/11/i_like_cheese. Make sense? Scott
