I guess I woulda known this if I'd read more first, but google apparently really does not like:

301 redirects from index.html to index.htm
Even though there had not previously been a
problem with having both index.htm and index.html
online, I decided in March it was time to get past the lazies I had caught myself in and take the site down to only one index page instead of two options existing.
I guess of the two, I shoulda elected to keep the .html instead of .htm

a link to the index page at the bottom of other
site pages
Most site pages end with the tag of:
This [name of NFP] [2-3 word summary of page topic]
page was last revised on: [date]
The [name of NFP] was linked back to the index page on the long pages (most site pages are long as opposed to being broke into 2-4 pages to icnrease page count) mainly so there could be some form of navigation available without scrolling back up and without using a TOP link (Those are ufly to me).

Other than mild content revision and some new pages, the above were the only big change related to the index page. but with the index page totally removed from the index, it seems apparent (now) that these were not sound ideas.

Oh well, another fun life lesson.

If this is in the wrong thread, don't hesitate to delete or move.
