  Hi
  I had a blog with you (jamespreece.wordpress.com ) on wordpress.com and I had purchased domain forwarding so it appeared to come to http://www.jamespreece.co.uk

  However, I’ve now moved my blog over to wordpress.org and all seems fine. From what I can see it’s all mapped over OK a I’m directly using the domain name.

  My question is, what do I with this old blog? Am I OK to cancel the domain forwarding and hide/delete it?

  Also, once I close all this will my SEO be OK with the new version of the blog? I don’t want to lose the existing links I had.

  Many thanks,

  James

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If you think you have any traffic going to jamespreece.wordpress.com, you might want to keep domain active, at least just for a while. Because it will forward that traffic to your new site.

  But aside from that, there’s no reason to not hide or delete your site. Though I always suggest people hide rather than delete just in case they ever need it again in the future.
