 * I love how I didn’t need to learn the arcane 301 redirect rules up front, I could
   do it gradually. The only surprise in getting it to work in the first link was
   traced a module status that said permalinks need to be enabled but were “disabled”.
   What that term means here is that you cannot use the /?p=123 permalink format,
   you have to use any of the other options like /2013/my-cool-post for the page
   you made called “My Cool Post”. Once you do that, the redirect feature works 
   like a charm.
