      We have a client that just did a redesign and development and the new design didn't really match their current structure.  They said they didn't want to worry about matching site structure and never put any effort into SEO. Here is the situation:

      They had a blog located on a subdomain such as blog.domain.com - now there blog is located like domain.com/blog

      They want to create redirects for all the old the blog urls that used to be on the subdomain and not point to the domain.com/blog/post-name

      What is the best way of doing that - Through .htaccess?

        RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^subdomain.domain.com
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/subfolder/$1 [R=301]

        Something like the above rule may be what you're looking for. This would go into your .htaccess file and redirect all the subdomain urls to the new url with the sub folder. Make sure to check with your development team for any special considerations.
