How To: Move Your WordPress Blog onto Your Company Domain

November 17th, 2009 by Avelyn Austin  

First and foremost, I’d like to thank @ReneeRevetta for doing all the research for this post. Thank you Renée.

Recently, @janetdmiller was scouring Google Images and came upon an abandoned blog belonging to one of our clients. I know what you’re asking yourself: How did Search Mojo not know about a client’s blog?
