Answer 1

The following .htaccess would be useful when, for example, you move from a hosting to another and you reorder or delete parts of your web.

As Apache allows human syntax codes I have used permanent instead of 301 code, and gone instead of 410. You can check http protocol codes here Status Code Definitions

I placed the file on my root mynewblogaddress.com folder:

.htaccess

Redirect permanent /wordpress http://www.mynewblogaddress.com/blog/
Redirect gone /gallery2   
Redirect permanent /directory2 http://directory2.mynewblogaddress.com
