In the mail: my contributor’s copy of The Magazine of Speculative Poetry, and a little check with it! Hey, if every lit mag and journal paid us just a tiny bit, we poets would at least be able to cover our postage!

Hey Jeannine, I have a random web question for you… I’ve created a “new” website, but the old one still shows up in searches. Do you know how to get rid of it? It’s hideous!
Thanks and hope all is well,
Brandi

Dear Brandi,
Your old site will stay cached with the search engines for a little while.
If you clear out the old content on your old site and put up a re-direct to the new site, it will stop it from showing up in the future. (At least that worked for me when I switched sites…)
B-Ho
Cool, thanks so much!
