Question : Redirecting a /index.html link to a standard .com homepage

I originally built my website using html so the homepage was /index.html

Now I've switched to wordpress and I've been doing some work using Google webmaster tools, and noticed that http://www.stunnazine.com/index.html is a broken link. This link appears in 100 places on the web so I'd like to redirect it to the standard new homepage http://www.stunnazine.com  (without the /index.html).

How do I do this? Is it thru .htaccess? Or do I set up a 303 file? I really don't know how to resolve this problem. I can't create the file in wordpress, because it automatically turns the link into http://www.stunnazine.com/index-2.html. And I can't get rid of the "dash 2."

Sure try it.  Make sure you keep a copy of the original '.htaccess' file in case something breaks and you need it anyway.
