   When I moved from Blogger to WordPress, all I did was leave the old site up and running with not so much a redirect as a message asking people to come to the new site and providing a link (in fact, a number of reminder links throughout the final post and in the blog subtitle descriptive!).

   If you’re not in any rush to delete the TypePad blog, you could just create a final post advising people to ‘come on over’. You’d be surprised. I didn’t lose any visitors as far as I can tell, certainly not my regular ones and my site traffic is slowly but surely increasing anyway. At the end of the day, regardless, you do what you want to do and if breaking free of TypePad does involve a temporary dip in traffic, it will pick up again – people will find your site, it’s well-established. And wonderful, by the way. Thanks for maintaining it. I’m a newbie to WordPress, did a clean install of 2.0 now on 2.0.1, had a few problems setting my blog up, but all seems fine now. Still haven’t found a plugin for Flickr photos that works, though, despite some being listed as ‘compatible’ on wordpress.org. Yeah, right…. x

   Emily,

   Are you certain you cannot do a 301 redirect? I have never used typepad so I do not know. It would make sence that they would not allow any file uploads to accomplish this – for like you said, to keep you paying.

   Sucks your stuck with .html pages and not .php or it would be easy.

   You emailed typepad I assume?

   If so this is an eye opening article bordering on unethical imo.
