The Live HTTP Headers extension for Mozilla Seamonkey or for Mozilla Firefox is also very useful.

I should have specified that further; Wordpress does correctly handle 404s, but there are some which don’t.

If you’d like to know how your server is handling them, just check a status code tool, like this one: http://www.seoconsultants.com/tools/headers.asp

The Toolbar data is updated about every 3 or 4 months, and the data is some 2 or 3 months old when it updates. So no, you wouldn’t see the ToolBar PageRank change for quite a long time yet.

Thanks a lot for this report - I have to do a big relaunch which will change 99% of all paths, about 200,000 in total. :) So it’s good to hear that the 301 redirect works.
