Out of 6 old links I tested, 5 of them went to the new URLs with the dates. cool.

eg. old URL when my blog was on Posterous
http://blog.cloudamp.com/pricing-strategy-for-saas-and-services

new URL now that my blog is on WordPress.com
http://blog.cloudamp.com/2012/04/27/pricing-strategy-for-saas-and-services/

I see that the dates cannot be removed from the WordPress URLs, wondering if there are any tools or techniques to put a redirect within my blog, so it doesn't 404.

Could I create pages that duplicate my blog posts, at those URLs, that don't appear in the nav? Or is there a way of doing redirects like I would be able to do on my main web site?

Thanks,
David
