.htaccess 301 redirect WHOLE WordPress site EXCEPT root domain

Question

I have been searching around and I couldn't find the following. I was wondering if it is possible to redirect my whole WordPress blog to a new domain except for the root or homepage itself. Any push in the right direction would be great. I hope I'm not asking a silly question here!

Thanks in advance for anyone who has the time to look at my question.

Yes you can, try this code :

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^(index.php)?$ - [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?olddomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,QSA,L]
