How to Enable Permanent Redirection

When changing domain names, just like when you change the custom domain name for your tumblr blog, you may want to setup a Permanent (301) Redirection to your new domain, so you won't lose as much traffic from search engines and everywhere you posted a link to your old tumblr/blog url.

You have to enable it from the cpanel of your registrar (or your webhost, if you registered in the same). And while you're at it, be sure to setup a "wildcard" redirection as well, so that any subfolders (or virtual subfolders) and id's are redirected to the current "full" url (address).
