Re-direct

External sites

Recently I managed to figure out how to map my new domain (www.therivertao.com) to my Micro.blog content, which had been at www.apoorplayer.blog. However, I see no feature or tool which allows me to redirect apoorplayer.blog to therivertao.com. Since I don’t have access to name.com, where apoorplayer.blog is still registered as active according to WHOIS, how do I create a simple 301 re-direct to send traffic from apoorplayer.blog to therivertao.com? Thanks.

You have to have access to your old domain to set up 301 redirects.

For example, I migrated: cerebralrift.org → cerebralrift.cc. On cerebralrift.org I set up 301 redirects to point to cerebralrift.cc (using the list of mappings from Posts → … → Manage Paths).

That’s my point - I don’t have access credentials to name.com, the location where my original blog domain is located. MB handles all that in the background when it creates a new domain name for you. Someone connected to MB has to take care of it, since I am without access.

Then maybe @manton or @sod will have to intervene here. My process sounds different — I already owned my domains when I migrated to MB. I just had the system take exports of my posts and import them here… Then I pointed my domains to micro blog.
