Glad to hear -- and yes, your readership will build back up, just takes time. This happened to me too.

Great point Eric. High end sites CAN be interactive, but I think it's easy for people without a sense of marketing (designers AND site owners) to get caught up in "making the site slick" and forgetting all functionality. Blogs are all about interactivity-- otherwise, they're just websites (blogs= websites that are interactive with readers; websites = informative, not always interactive).

Thanks for the tips. I'll hang on to them for when my turn comes to move.

I have two old blogs that are still up. I'll add the new URL in the sidebars. Great idea. And stripping the unneeded sidebar stuff is a great idea, too. At least I did one thing right by publishing the last post on those blogs telling folks to please go to my new site. Still lost most of my followers, but I figure, hey, it will build back up over time. No point in stressing about it. 🙂

I've been part of site migrations that took popular, low-tech sites and made them into unpopular polished, high-tech sites. High-end sites do not convey community and don't seem interactive, and interactive is what people want.

I haven't had to move a blog but sure am glad I now about this. It makes perfect sense! Thanks.

I have a blog that I'm hoping to transition to a new author blog, so I've been thinking about this.
