Redirecting a page

Description
Redirect a page to another web page (usually because the page has moved).

Use the following HTML to do so:

  <html>
  <head>
    <title>This page has moved</title>
    <meta
      http-equiv="refresh"
      content="5; URL=http://people.ucsc.edu/~username">
  </head>

  <body>
  <p>This page has <b>moved</b>!</p>
  <p>If your browser doesn't take you there automatically in 5 seconds,
  click on:</p>
  
  <p align="center">
  <a href="http://people.ucsc.edu/~username">
    <tt>http://people.ucsc.edu/~username</tt></a>
  </p>
  
  <p>Please remember to update any links or bookmarks you may have
  about this page.</p>
  </body>
  </html>
Change the three URLs (i.e. http://people.ucsc.edu/~username) to where you want the browsers to go. You can also change the "5" in the meta tag to another number: it is the number of seconds to wait before the redirection happens.
