I may end up going that route.

Also, auxclass, I mistakenly had my account linked to a name that I was playing with when I changed over. It should link correctly now to my main blog. The blog is only a bit over a week old on WP, but it is months old on Blogger, and I had a massive amount of emails sent out letting everyone know of the change (and don't want to put everyone through that again).

Thanks, everyone.

I've sent an email to the staff. I guess all that I can do is wait and continue to look for outside options at this point.

I think that increased flexibility (google analytics and other such things) also are part of the equation. However, I don't really want to pay an additional $30 for the site to redirect to my new site (on top of web-hosting fees and paying for the domain name).

Any other options that would make this work?

If you want your visitors to be redirected from a __.wordpress.com type of URL to your custom domain (for example, __.com), there is an upgrade for that:

I wouldn't switch to WordPress.org solely to add Google Friend Connect. I hope you understand the impact of moving to WordPress.org :-)

Are either of these possible?

Thanks!
