Nala is on a distinguished road
Default Wordpress.org to Wordpress.com

I have a blog at Wordpress that has started out relatively well. At some point in the near future I plan on transferring it to my .com.

Is this a smooth, seamless process (moving a Wordpress blog to a .com site)? What should I anticipate? Any suggestions, warnings, or words of encouragment from those of you that have done this before?

Thanks in advance.

I would keep the .org blog there ... any existing links will then stay intact. Youc an backup the database and install it into your new .com so your articles will be replicated in the new blog.

I'm going to have the same problem coming up. I suggest that you put a blurb at the beginning and end of each posting, perhaps, pointing people to the new blog. Also, post a entry saying exactly when the .com site will be going inactive.

Good luck!
