   I love you guys! Too much!!! I have seven sites!!!

   Please help me decide: my main website is Joomla and I'm not happy with it. I want to change hosts and switch/migrate to a WordPress site. But I'm so concerned about losing info/links/SEO.

   My most important sites are:

   http://www.annekleinberg.com
   http://www.menopauseinmanhattan.com
   http://www.annekleinberg.wordpress.com

   I'm thinking of sticking with the StudioPress theme that I have on menopause in manhattan and adapting that for annekleinberg.com as well. Can you advise what steps I should take?

   Well, themes cannot be uploaded at WordPress.com, so you would have to lose StudioPress.

   The biggest concern here would really be the links.

   Your main domain would be unaffected search-wise, but your individual posts would all have different links, which could take some time to rebuilt their rankings.

   Thanks Macmanx, actually I made a mistake - I was thinking I'd have to switch them all to wordpress.org. Guess I have to log on there.

   Yes, to clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

   WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress via their Codex and Support Forums.
