What would be the HTML code if I wanted to make www.blahblah.com redirect to www.blahblah.biz?

HTML cannot do that but JavaScript, PHP and other server-side languages can.

Here's a JavaScript example:

Code:

<SCRIPT>
 parent.top.location.href = "http://www.blahblah.biz";
</SCRIPT>

Add that between the "<HEAD>" tags in your HTML file, change th http://www.blahblah.biz to whatever you want and your done.

That code will redirect the page immediately, typically befor any body content is displayed.

smoking,
This is a meta refresh.
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="01; URL=home.html">
Put this between your title and /head.
the 01 is one second. change the url to where you want it to go.
This should work for you.

I recommend setting content to 0 if you want an automatic redirect, but if you want to include a message such as: "Hold on while you are being redirected to...", I would recommend setting content to 5 or 6.
