Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Erik, Everyone here has given you good advice, so let me just add my 2 cents. 301's using htaccess can be tricky, so if you get in over your head don't worry too much about it - the canonical tag should do the trick. Every time you use a canonical on your site, you'll see a notice in your crawl diagnostics dashboard. This is just a "notice", not a warning or an error. We just want you to know our spiders found a canonical in case you didn't intend to be there. Best of luck with your SEO!

Got it! Thanks for your help everyone.
