URL Shortcut

[Guest]

How do I create a chortcut to a URL. For example, it you type
www.disney.com, you are redirected to disney's main web site which has a much
longer name. I want to be able to have my family type an abbreviated address
to our family web site and still get the right site.

Well if it's in the same domain, you just create a page that you want it to
redirect from - for example if your site is www.myfamily.com then create the
index page and in the head of that page type:

<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0; URL=http://www.myfamily.com/*Page to
direct them to*">

Does that make sense?

I'm not sure. I'm combining two sites into one but want users to go to one
or the other. My site is www.myfamily.net and I've added my extended
family's site so that the subsite's URL is www.myfamily.net/otherfamily.htm.
Is it possible for them to simply type otherfamily.htm and reach the correct
page?

I don't think there's a real easy way of doing that.. What I would do is just
spend the $8 for another domain, then you could just have that domain
redirect to the subsite.

You're right. That does look like the easiest way. Thanks for your help.
I've been working at home for a few years and feel out of the tech-loop
(which is what I did for 10 years). I appreciate your help.
