How do you move a blog?

So how does one go about moving a blog?

I've come up with the following list of issues:

  • What to do about posts.  Should they be moved?  Just left alone?
  • How do I get my readers to the new site... leave a note?
  • How long will it take for the search engines to notice my new site?
  • Will I lose readers?

Why do I ask?  Yes it's true... I'm moving!

First, I want to give a big thanks to Jeff Julian and anyone else that has helped maintain GeeksWithBlogs for as long as it's been home to my blog :)

But lately I've felt that I need more control over my host.  And so I'm moving to a new site.

It's not ready yet.  But the new site will be www.brandonlive.com - I'll make another post as soon as it's ready.

Sorry to see you leave. As others have done in the past, crossposting technical blog post to GWB has helped them retain readership. 11/27/2005 11:53 AM | Jeff Julian
