This is excellent stuff for unix newbies like myself. That mod_rewrite cheat sheet is really helpful.
I addition, many web hosts provide a web based interface where you can create your redirects. I use http://site5.com and I was searching for a solution to the redirect problem. I had misspelled the title of a page, and spread the link before I realised my mistake, and I wanted the old link to redirect to the correct page. I found that I could create the redirect easily using the site administration tools provided. It's not as flexible as writing your own mod_rewrite rules, but for simple redirects it is really easy and simple to use. I can't write specific instructions for other hosts, but I found the URL Redirect interface under "Site tools" in the Site5 admin console.
