I need to configure my primary home page (node) to re-direct to a specific URL using Pathauto and URL aliases?

If a requested URL has a URL alias, Global Redirect will do a 301 redirect to the URL alias. For example, if you have a URL alias for node 25 called page-title, the Global Redirect Module will do a 301 redirect from example.com/node/25 to example.com/page-title. It will remove trailing slashes from URLs.

For example, the Global Redirect Module will redirect a request for example.com/page-title/ to example.com/page-title. If search engines spider both versions, they will see two different URLs with duplicate content. If a requested URL is being used as Drupal's front page, it will 301 redirect to the actual front page.

For example, if you are using the path frontpage as your site's front page, a request for http://example.com/frontpage will 301 redirect to http://example.com/. If you search around the Web for Drupal SEO tutorials, many people recommend using mod_rewrite rules in an . Htaccess file to deal with issues like removing trailing slashes.

But on sites that also have non-Drupal content, you may have URLs that do have trailing slashes. A slash is the symbol for a directory. For example, in the URL http://example.com/ the trailing slash is the symbol for the root directory of example.com.

If you leave the trailing slash off, the server will add it. If you request a physical directory on a Drupal site (or any site) like http://example.com/modules the server will correct you by appending the trailing slash: http://example.com/modules/. If you have non-Drupal content on your server—perhaps a WordPress blog at http://example.com/software/—you will have URLs with trailing slashes.

The WordPress blog would not be located at http://example.com/software, it would be located at http://example.com/software/. You would not want to remove trailing slashes from all URLs. That is why the Global Redirect module is a good option.It will only remove trailing slashes from URLs that are handled by Drupal.

You can add a custom alias for any path. Just go to: site.com/admin/build/path/add and type in the source path and destination path to which you want to redirect. You can find this command under Admin/Site Building/URL Aliases in your drupal administration menu.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
