  I want to redirect my old blog TO a wordpress.com site. I’ve imported all the information, but I just want to redirect anyone trying to go to my old blog (http://beforeduringandafter.blog.com) to my new blog (http://beforeduringandafterblog.com).

  I downloaded “redirection” but had no idea what to do with it. And I can’t figure out where the HTML page is because that’s apparently where you can add some sort of redirecting coding.

  Could you help at all? Customer service at the other blog is not very helpful, and you guys seem to have yourselves together.

  Thanks!

  Hi there, while I’d love to help with this, redirecting your non-WordPress.com address is something that would need to be handled at the non-WordPress end, since there’s no way for us to control the URL http://beforeduringandafter.blog.com, as blog.com is not a domain that either we have access to.

  If you are able to get access to the HTML code for your site, I would be glad to help you with a meta refresh code that can redirect your old site to your new WordPress.com one, if that’s a type of code they allow. Just let me know.
