htaccess gurus... please help me
 

Hi guys,

Today I changed my pages with the extension. shtm to. html

Old page - http://www.rogerlinks.com/Hot-and-ve...ce-34408.shtml

New page - http://www.rogerlinks.com/Hot-and-ve...ace-34408.html

This certainly affects my SERP ranking in the short term. :Oh crap

My question is:

Is there any code to put in the htaccess file that redirect all extensions. shtml to. html?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*).shtml$ /$1.html

someone double check what i wrote above i havent gotten any sleep lolol

Thanks a lot... your answer helped me find on google with some modifications.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.shtml$ /$1.html [R=301,L]

Without this final part of the content is duplicated...
