What you should worry about is other people's pages that have links to
yours. A couple of weeks sounds a little bit short... My suggestion
would be to move the entire site to the new place and then replace all
the pages at the old place with a simple message saying "this page has
moved to: http://www3.sympatico.ca/petecasso/page3.html, please update
your links" (yes, spell it out, and make a link of the URL, but *don't*
use automatic "redirect", redirecting can confuse people into thinking
that the site hasn't moved) and leave it like that for a year. It's over
a year since I moved my homepage but I still get many hits from the old
page... You could also actively try to find pages with links to your
page and write to their owner and tell them about the move, but don't
rely on only doing that.
