 * OK, I still am looking for help with this regular expressions stuff! I tried 
   to set up a regular expressions with a code sample posted on the plugin page,
   but cannot get it to work. Has any had success with using Regular expressions
   with the redirection plugin? Would you be willing to help others that cannot 
   seem to figure this out? HELP!
 * Here is the regular expression code I tried: /blog​/(.*) => ​/$1
 * I had a blog set up like this: [http://domainname.com/blog/](http://domainname.com/blog/)
   
   and not is it set up like this: [http://domainname.com/](http://domainname.com/)
 * So what regular expression code do I need for this?

 * I’ve got a similar question, need to redirect from [http://domainname.com/postname](http://domainname.com/postname)
   to [http://domainname.com/postid/postname](http://domainname.com/postid/postname).
 * If possible I would avoid using the redirection plugin but willing to use it 
   if it worked (tried yesterday, it created an infinite loop).
 * Is there a place to learn these “regular expressions” for htaccess? I’ll appreciate
   suggestions too for the line of code. Should be the only redirect I’ll need for
   quite some time.
