Blogware move needs mirror

I realised after reading a blog a week or so ago by - I think - Kathleen Gilroy

that one of the implications of moving a blog to a new platform is that

you can lose search engine rankings if you are changing urls, as you do

if you accept the ‘default’ url provided by the new blog hosting

service.

As Thinking Home Business seems to be getting picked up well - with

various search terms - by Google and Yahoo! - I don’t want to waste

that. So for the time being I’ll keep the Typepad account open, but

using the Basic config because I don’t need the Pro I’ve been paying

for and this will be a mirror site. I still come out about $3 a month

better off! But if you wanted to have multiple blogs on the one account, as I thought

originally I would like, then the Typepad Pro deal is very good indeed.

I acknowledge Paul Chaney of Radiant Marketing, who has moved his base from Typepad to Squarespace, for the idea of mirroring.
