What effect will a redesign have on Google positioning?

No, you can do lots of things in the .htaccess file. There is a great guide here: http://www.htaccess-guide.com/

Thanks a lot for the link. I checked with Godaddy awhile ago and they did not support .htaccess for their Windows servers, which I had before because my site was running .asp files. I switched to Linux for Wordpress. I'll have my old pages point to the new ones, thanks again!
