Thanks for the replies, and Hi Meg!

I followed the directions to set up google webmaster tools.

Is the 301 .htaccess necessary? Google seems to indicate it is optional.

If so, I found this on stack overflow, it looks complex. I know regex, but I never learned htaccess syntax.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Anybody venture to say if that is correct?

thanks for all the replies.
