Welcome to the Q&A Forum

G'day Jesse, I have added the following code to my .htaccess file ... RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.index.html\ HTTP/ RewriteRule ^(.)index.html$ http://www.just-insulation.com/$1 [R=301,L] All attempts to add a similar code to redirect in the other direction results in the home page not loading, or the creation of an infinite loop. Open Site Explorer still returns ... www.just-insulation.com a PA of 32 and  www.just-insulation.com/index.html a PA of 15 The thought of all this lost link juice is making me really thirsty.

Hello Colin, Since it sounds like you're not using any kind of CMS, and are coding an HTML/CSS site yourself, it will be a little more difficult to find an "app" to do this since most publicly available apps/plugins/widgets/modules are created for use in an existing CMS. There are some scripts out there built with JQuery that might work. Just Google "JQuery gallery" or "JQuery lightbox" to get started. If one doesn't have everything you want you should at least be able to get 90% of the way there, and can either tweak the code yourself or hire a developer to get the rest of the way there. This one looks promising: http://fancyapps.com/fancybox/ Also check out: http://www.intelliance.fr/jquery/imagebox/ http://www.pirolab.it/pirobox/ http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyPhoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/ It may also be possible for you to use one of the CMS-specific plugins with some tweaking. You could try out some of these on a free Wordpress site to test them. When you find the one you want you could try customizing the code yourself, or hiring a developer (having an existing plugin for him to see/use will save you money) to do it for you. Good luck!

Greetings Vadim, Thanks for sparing your valuable time to respond to my query. Having just rewritten our entire web site, using a new directory structure, we do not wish to make any mistakes that will upset SEO. Your answer is very reassuring. So thanks again.

Thanks for the speedy response Streamline, We have just rewritten our web site using a directory structure, rather than having all of the HTML pages in the root folder, and used rel=canonical on all pages, because we were/are really worried about our (fairly good) rankings being negatively impacted. We have also used rel=canonical in the redirect pages, as we believed that this was an appropriate use of of the 'tag.' PS (Sorry about the earlier 'Ref' typo)
