  What happens to the blog links i have already posted for people elsewhere if I upgrade to my own domain name with you guys, from artseenokanagan.wordpress.com to artseenokanagan.com?

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

  Anyone going to artseenokanagan.wordpress.com will be automatically redirected to artseenokanagan.com. No need to worry.

  But what about the posts that are already up and the calendar – if I have published links that go directly to a story I’ve already posted, will those links still work?

  Yes, everything should redirect correctly. Let me know if it does not.

  It is worth noting that you will lose any Facebook “like” or “share” numbers displayed on your pages. Those numbers are URL based. So sample.wordpress.com/howdy is not the same as sample.com/howdy to Facebook.
