  I am working on migrating my blog from Squarespace to WordPress. How do I put redirects in place in the WordPress dashboard for my migrated posts? The permalink set up in Squarespace is:
  http://olivetocook.com/olivetocook/2012/1/4/lentils-with-bulgur-wheat-caramelized-onions.html
  In WordPress, it’s showing up as:
  http://olivetocook.wordpress.com/2012/01/04/lentils-with-bulgur-wheat-caramelized-onions.html
  Blog url: http://olivetocook.wordpress.com/

  Howdy,

  Once you map your domain name over to WordPress.com, we’ll do our best to redirect old links to your posts here automatically. :-)

  You can map your domain to WordPress.com by following this guide:

  Hi Chris–thank you! Should I contact you directly when I’m ready to hit the switch?
  Thanks,

  Hi Nancy,

  You can just go ahead and map your domain when you’re ready. It isn’t necessary to contact us since it should automatically be taken care of once your domain is mapped.

  If you run into any issues along the way, then definitely feel free to reply to this thread so we can look into it. :)

  Cheers!
