Okay, I'm a huge idiot.. but it needed a push in the right direction of Mark from Support that sparked my tiny 2watt lightbulb

The culprit of my slight misery: Firefox's No-Script Add-on!!! As it did not recognize my new domain thehypeguy.com thus blocking it automatically (well, I believe NS blocks every site without discrimination--why we love ya!)

Anyway, big thanks for Mark and the support staff as always!

I was thinking it's a waiting thing as well. Oh well.

And I think I take wordpress.com's FANTASIC "feedback" folks too granted haha -- I'd usually get a response within the day.. and now I'm just thinking "geez what's taking so long" lol (but it's all good, I still love them)!

I just activated http://thehypeguy.com for my http://thehype.wordpress.com blog.

Then in the admin section I clicked the "thehypeguy.com" To Primary Blog where the urls will be http://thehypeguy.com/post-title-etc instead of wordpress.com

Okay problem: once I write a post, and scroll down to check the Preview, it says "Sorry, no posts match your criteria"

so currently, I've switch back to the thehype.wordpress.com as primary blog so that I can see the preview.

Is just a matter of waiting for wordpress.com's servers (or something) because I activated it just recently? Or is this just me? Any takers?

Thanks!

Stale as it may be, here's my two cents:

If you are in the top thousand in Technorati, they will do what it takes to keep you happy if you complain loud enough. Otherwise, you're fukt.

Speaking of my own experience: when I switched, October 1, 2006, I went from a Google Page Rank of 6 to 0. I am still at 0. Nonetheless, I seem to google high for terms which occur on my blog: at one point the Guardian cited me as "Best of the Web" when all I'd done is blog about a story they'd carried in their normal paper!

The sum total of what I know is that WordPress blogs have a LOT of google juice, and don't do too shabby on Technorati either. The numbers? It took me from Feb. 24 to Oct 1 to get to 21,000 on Technorati, but it only took me from Oct 1/06 to January 16/07 to get to 22000 in Technorati. If you have a following who is already linking to you, you'll gain ground far faster than another blog who is starting from scratch.

if you host your own wordpress (AFAIK, hosting wordpress is far less painful than hosting movable type, but you'll want to poke about in http://wordpress.org/support for that), then you can set up your server to redirect your old posts, using plugins like this one; http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/redirect-old-slugs/

I know that the effect on raincoaster of the sub-domain change from raincoaster.wordpress.com to raincoaster.com was that she lost all of her blogs links and her blog ranking. I also believe because she has a very high readership she has almost recovered them now. She'll be stopping in this evening and will probably add to this thread.

I know the same loss of links and ranking happened with another blog that engtech contributes too following the sub-domain change. Perhaps he may stop in too and comment.

I will look at wordpress.org version.

Let me spin the question slightly differently...what is the impact, or how can I minimize the impact of switching URLs from

Existing: mydomain.com/blog
To: mydomain.wordpress.com

If there are a couple of hundred existing incoming links, can the old mydomain.com/blog url be "forwarded"/mapped in such a way that the links aren't broken...sorry if not making sense, just trying to see how limited I am in this conversion. Thanks!

The best we could do here at wp.com, since it's different software, would be blog.mydomain.com and that would be with a CNAME.

I would be happy to send in a Feedback myself to see if we could "light a fire" if needed.

If you have your own domain, you don't need to transfer it wo wp.com. All you do is repoint the nameservers to use wp.com's ones. (ie ns1 and ns2.wordpress.com) No domain transfer is needed and all you would have to pay is the $10 for the hosting the domain.

Just for reference, the $5 for the domain (ie the difference between just hosting the domain at $10 and hosting and the purchase of the domain) is very cheap. Even I can't do it for that cheap for my own clients. (Well, I could if I wanted to if I never wanted to break even...)

Although I know that volunteers cannot make the registration service return, I thought that you might be able to answer my question about the cost-effectiveness of registering a domain through WordPress.com.

I didn't get an answer from the support folks on this, but I'm trying to determine if I should wait for the WordPress domain registration feature to work again or if I should just go ahead and register on my own (since the transfer feature IS working).

The only reason I ask is because I read on the forums that the transfers cost $10 but a full registration is only $5 more. Thus, it would be cheaper to register through WP.com ($15) than on my own ($15 for the domain, $10 for the transfer).

Is this indeed the case?
