  Hi there,
  WordPress.com does not provide 301 redirects. What is available is 302 temporary redirects via a domain mapping upgrade. See > http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/redirecting-your-blog/

  Hi timetheif: I have read every reply one of your replies regarding moving from WP.com to WP.org, but I am still stuck.

  My existing blog is at http://watrd.wordpress.com.
  My new blog will be at http://wearetherealdeal.com

  The goal is to not lose my Google ranking when I switch over, so I believe I need to set up the 302 redirects as you describe above. I went ahead and purchased the upgrade and it is set up.

  The permalinks are the same for both blogs.

  So, I believe now my final step is to set my .com blog to “private” so my users are seamlessly are directed to my new site at http://wearetherealdeal.com. If this is correct I need to know how to do this. If this is not correct, please let me know what I need to do.

  MUCH appreciated!
