New Photocrati wordpress site for our business. Should I migrate blogspot blog to WP (with orignal dates) and delete when finished or leave as is?

Do I migrate blogspot to wordpress?

If I understand what you are asking correctly, then it is best to have only one blog. You want it in your website and drop the blogspot version. You only want one copy of your posts on the internet and you want them on your site giving your site more authority.
If the existing blog is really powerful and has a lot of links pointing at it, you may want to look in to 301 redirects to point the old URL's to the new blog within your site. I'm not sure if that's possible with blogspot, but something to consider.

Kade,
Is it better to have one WP blog on my website and get rid of the blogspot? If I don't, they'll have duplicate posts (I've already migrated all of the blogspot posts).
Thank you for the info!

Randy,
I'm a little confused on exactly what you are asking. Are you asking if anyone has experienced the same situation? Are you asking what you'll gain by moving from blogspot to WP? Are you already convinced to move and just want to know if you should make the dates match?

Blog migration
Hi We have 4 websites - 1 for company and 3 for each products. Currently all our blog posts are located on the company website company.com/blog. We will be separating out the blog so that product blogs will be in each product website. i.e. from company.com/blog to: company.com/blog product1.com/blog product2.com/blog product3.com/blog This is with the aim of helping SEO for each of the product websites; and improving user experience so users can easily navigate around the product pages if they are reading a blog post on the product. So now we have to consider migration. We will migrate/copy over all blog posts to each of the relevant product websites, but should we: A. keep the old blog posts on company.com/blog and do a rel=canonical B. only show blog preview on company.com/blog which will link to the new product.com/blog (and using 301 redirect) C. 301 redirect all blog posts from company.com/blog altogether Any suggestions on which of the above options to take would be greatly appreciated in terms of SEO and other considerations

Blogging Software Compatible with asp.net server?
I’m in the works of setting up a company blog right now but I’m struggling to find a great blogging software (preferably free). I’d like to keep the blog in a folder, so energyacuity.com/blog, but I’ve been told I need to find a blogging service that is compatible with asp.net so we can download it (?) to our server…meaning wordpress is out of the question. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Fixing Wordpress URLs
I just redid our blog and I am using permalinks. I have the custom structure set to /%year%/%postname%/ and catagory - blank. When I run the XENU Link Slueth, it shows all my blog urls as broken, but the links work fine. However the url structure is www.example.com/2010/10/20/ and so on. I am worried about duplicate content too. Do you know how I can fix the url structure so only 1 or 2 urls are used?
