Um I think ^ will cause some issues... will "http://party.webmaker.org/resources/getting-started-resources" eventually get redirected to http://party.webmaker.org/resources/choose-your-event-type then?

Are we doing this?  Seems we should do so soon, if so.

Mavis, need help doing redirects?

Hey JP, I'm checking with Brett and Erika about this.  It seems like what Brett has suggested will create a loop eventually.  I guess the solution is to rename the path `getting-started` to something else?

And for the technical part, I can just use Node's res.redirect to handle it and nothing on the DevOps end, correct?

Yep, you can use res.redirect. It's easiest that way.

:brett - The URLs you suggested would go into an infinite redirect loop, and the last URL is currently a 404; can you clarify?

Hi Brett,

Just checking in to see if this is something we want to implement still.

Hi, Mavis!  Erika and I discussed and since no one has been confused by the URLs, lets leave as is to focus on other priorities :)
