I say leave all the permalink pages so that anyone who's returning to a specific place in your old site (from a bookmark or from a link from someone else's site) will still find the old content. And yes, modify the template so the old site pages have a notice + link to the new home page. But then also -- replace the index.htm home page with an empty redirect page so that anyone who goes to your old home page (which is most of your traffic) will get automatically and elegantly sent to the new site. You can create such a redirect index page without using Blogger -- giving you the opportunity to leave the Blogger template to do the above description... oh wait. maybe you can't do this on blogspot... there's no way to manually ftp a replacement index file over the blogger created index file, is there... this would work if your blogger blog was on your own server. anyone have ideas about how to do this on blogspot? jen jenSimmons http://www.emergingawareness.org http://www.inclinationsthemovie.com http://www.jensimmons.com Yahoo!
