Moving Home
What do you do when you decide you want to move your blog and want to make sure your readers follow you and that all those wonderful inbound links move with you. Perhaps you have decided to change the URL of your blog (a risky move but you might have good reason).
Whenever, and for whatever reason, this can present you with a lot of work and a lot of headaches. I recently moved one of my blogs to incorporate it into a website and then moved the whole thing to a new site. So in effect I had the need to move two URL’s onto one site.
That presented me with a lot of challenges, fortunately I realized that I was perhaps not the first person to have done this and so I turned to the world of WordPress plugins and sure enough found my answer there.
A plugin called Redirection will handle all the 301, 302 & 307 redirects it will also track all 404 requests for you as well. Why put yourself to all the effort when you can have a plugin do it all for you?
Have you moved your blog, what pains did you go through?

I never moved my blogs. And I really didn't have a clue there is a plugin for it

I'm trying to redirect from blogger to wordpress but that is proving to be a little difficult. I'm sure I will have it sorted soon.
