Are you using the Jetpack plugin? If so, would you like me to transfer your followers to the new site?

I would like to redirect my wordpress.com readers to my new wordpress.org site. My old site is http://www.cherrytreecountryclothing.wordpress.com and my new site is http://blog.cherrytreecountryclothing.com.

I have purchased the "site redirect" from wordpress but my URL's are different. Is there any way of setting up 301 redirects?

Many thanks.

Thank you. It's not my Gravatar, I'm sure of that. I've checked it numerous times now.

I did delete the image from my main photo for my blog when I got my logo completed. I went through my media images and it's not there either.

I cannot find the image on my profile anywhere but when I add posts to other social media streams my logo doesn't appear but the old image does.

I cannot find the image anywhere else to delete it.

Does the old logo appear anywhere on your WP site at all? It sounds like it's only showing up when you share your WP work elsewhere - could it be that you have updated everything on your WP site, but your Gravatar (That's Globally Recognized Avatar) is still set to the old photo? Check that here:

I've recently started a WordPress .com blog for a new business. When I started the blog mylogo was not ready so I uploaded a generic photo.

My logo is now complete and I've uploaded to my blog. I removed the old image but when I add my posts to other social media sites the generic picture shows up and not my new logo.

Did I miss something when deleting the generic image? It doesn't show in my media files or general settings but still appears on my posts.

Any help is appreciated!!!

By default all WordPress.com blogs have comments open on all pages and posts.

Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.

We can also override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any individual post or page.

Note: By default, new blogs on WordPress.com will have the Discussion hidden.

Sliders are dynamic bits of code (not just CSS), and the Custom Design upgrade is not a way to add things like that. To get a slider on a WordPress.com blog, you would need to have started out with a theme that has one built in. Here is a list:

To change colors inside images, you need to edit them directly on your computer (or have a graphic designer help you) before you upload the images.

The SEO here is the best there is, and you also get to share in the incredible search engine ranking of WordPress.com, and that is nothing to sneeze at.

Secondly, the search engines no longer pay any attention to meta tags (keywords) since they have been so over used and abused. The only thing they may (and that is a tiny "may) use is a meta description, but in my experience with all sorts of sites, there is only about a 40% chance that a very well crafted meta description will be used as a snippet in search results.

In general the search engines pull their own keywords out of the content and that goes for the snippets they use in their search results as well.

You would have to hire a third-party web host such as GoDaddy, Dreamhost, Bluehost, etc., install the WordPress.org software and configure it, point your domain name at the new host and the export your content from here and import it into the new site. You will be responsible for all installations, all upgrades, all backups and all troubleshooting. If something goes wrong, you have to figure it out and fix it. Figure an average monthly cost, all things considered of about $10 to $25 depending on host and your particular requirements.
