Working at Home on the Internet

It’s That Time of Year Again

It’s Time for a Good Spring Cleaning

Every Spring people get a sense of renewal and want to start as fresh as a Bright New Spring Day. I am just like everyone else when it comes to wanting to clean things up and try to brighten up my Blog a bit.

But this time, I want to do more. Not only do I want to change the look of the Blog, but finally set things right. It has always bothered me that I had that stupid “WP” after the Domain. Almost as if it were an afterthought.

Ever since I bought the Domain “workingathomeinternet.com” I have been contemplating putting the Blog as the Main Site. I just didn’t want to cause too much confusion. Not only with readers finding the Blog and incoming links being broken, but with Search Engines finding my Blog as well. And what about Advertisers through TLA and the like? These have been the Main Reasons I have never really gone any further than thinking about fixing it.

It will be a lot of work to do all the changes that I have in mind, but I need to know if it could/would be worth it in the end. (Did I mention that there is a Webpage on the .com addy that would be moved to .com/web?) This isn’t as much about redesigning as much as knowing if it is the right thing to do. 

I know I can put redirects on the Blog and Website, but what does that do to SEO? Will it be more or less difficult for people searching for Work at Home information to find me? Is it worth all the effort?

If you would be so kind, I have a Yes or No Poll to get your opinion about moving the Blog. (Of course, there is a non-committal for those who don’t have an opinion.) You can either vote below in this post or in the sidebar, but you can only vote once.

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

Thanks for your help. The poll will be open until next Saturday (4/14). And if you don’t like polls, you can always voice your opinion in comments. You know I always answer comments.
