New URL here
Now if you type in http://scobleizer.wordpress.com it’ll redirect to http://scobleizer.com. A little easier to remember. Hope it doesn’t mess anything up.

How….

WordPress.com lets you do that. I registered my domain on GoDaddy.com, then switched it on under “options/domains.”

. :-D Both sites are now PageRank 8 - - which is VERY HARD to get - hopefully, this redirect will NOT hurt on Google -
Their Algos have a history of False Positives

Any chance you could also update your “link blog” on the right to point to your new Google Reader shared items link blog instead of just a copy of your actual blog? Or do you keep it this way for a reason?
Thanks!

Matt: I’ll get that fixed. Thanks for reminding me. I totally forgot about it.

I did this before the great and honorable Robert Scoble?!? Whoa…

Wow, cool, I Just noticed this before I read this post.
Smart move, so far so good, and even if it does mess something up, folks will adjust for you

Dude, make sure your profile is updated too, your name on comments you leace still point to your old address…and read Engtech’s entry on the wordpress domain stuff also, on the quirks and benedictions of domain over subdomain urls.

Speaking of URLs Robert, I think it’s time you figure out how it is that Google still lists your 2005 blog as #1 and #2.
Still.
How is that technically possible?

Sweet! I’ve had friends tell me all year that I should have set up my blog on my own domain instead of on wordpress.com - time to go register one :D

Finally!
You should have done that years ago.
October 31st, 2006 at 5:51 pm
Still don’t understand how you did that…
I can’t see redirect options in wordpress admin
How can godaddy control where a wordpress domain points?
Am I being very stupid?

Good luck in the no support world.

“scoblizer” is tough to spell. You cannot make a url simple by taking out the easy parts.

Robert, thanks so much for the URL. I have wanted this service for about 6 months but didn’t want to give up a good google PR!
Appreciate your feedback.

[...] more often that not, more effort than I’m willing to expend. Lord only knows how many readers Scoble lost early on when he changing blogging hosts. He eventually figured it out and got some redirects [...]
