And there isn't any way around it that I can see. If there were, I'd be using it myself.

For preexisting posts, here are the redirect instructions:

I couldn't figure out how to get it to work when I already was using the domain on the other site, so I just set the posts here to private and had a static page that points people to the new site. It's too bad: my hits here were easily four times what they are now.

I have done exactly what is written in these manuals. I have gotten all the content and links over. That was very very easy and worked like a dream Took only about 2 minutes :-)

I have also gotten a much better theme and look (at least I think so)

The only part I miss is my good ranking on some of the posts (or pubs I have reviewed) in google. I am between hit 1-5 on many posts on Danish google. this has been helped through the last 2 years.

I do not know how fast I can obtain this if I scratch the .com blog and just use the domain blog.

I am a little surprised others have not had this challenge. Or will I get as good ranking with all the SEO plugins?

Thank you for the effort!

Best regards
Jan Erik

This is the opposite of what I want. THen I cannot use the wordpress.org flexibility. This what I stated.

Anybody else have any suggestion?

I have new themes and plugins on the new domain from wordpress.org. If I just redirect .com blog I will lose this!

I thought i could just forward so when people found my .com blog on google it would be forwarded to the post on my new domain gulegardiner.dk. For instance google has indexed http://gulegardiner.wordpress.com/2008/07/14/charlies-bar-4-gardiner/ but I want it forwarded to http://gulegardiner.dk/?p=84

Is this possible. As I can see now, it is only possible to get the.com blog redirected and mapped to the new domain. But then I lose the flexibility of .org?

Anybody know anything of this

Best regards
Jeric
