Redirect code and delay

Anyone know the code for a redirect that pauses and shows a message on the
screen telling visitors they're being sent to a new page?

Be careful with it - it generally isn't a good idea. Most bots won't respect
it, so you could find your search engine position dropping, and it messes
up the back button. A normal http permanent redirect is probably a better
bet.

Do it in your htaccess file.

Redirect permanent / http://www.granatedit.com/

I found the htaccess file, which is empty. Are you saying to put the
above words "Redirect permanent / http://www.granatedit.com/" into
the file just like that, with nothing else? What about the pages
that are in there now with the above content?

B.
That should redirect everything to your new home page. You can do each page too.

Redirect permanent /page1.htm http://www.granatedit.com/page1.htm
Redirect permanent /page2.htm http://www.granatedit.com/page2.htm
Note the single space..............^

Why is this preferable to what I have now? I'm going to be closing down the
old site in a couple of months.

Search engines will follow a Redirect permanent in your htaccess file but
most search engines do not like the meta refresh tags.

In fact they think meta refresh are evil.
