As long as the wording is the same – it should be fine – meaning the url needs to read exactly the same.

Just a quick question about the permalinks. Weebly seem to have updated all their blog URL’s so I don’t think we need to convert them now?

At first I was intimidated by WordPress also. But the selling point for me was the fact that every big blog out there is on WP. The SEO is better and it’s more consistent on different browsers. It’s a pain to learn but worth it in the end. My traffic DOUBLED after I moved my site to WP.

I love how “easy, peezy” it is and want to know in layman’s terms what I am missing out on by not signing onto Wordpress. I noticed Weebly added options like a landing page, blog section etc. I am taking a class online with Firepole Marketing to learn how to grow my business, they recommended word press. I am at the beginner level of website terminology understanding and know-how.

Thank you for publishing it!

Hi Tara,
No one will be able to find your “shadow site” since the only way to access it is by using the isp address. Yes, as soon as you point the nameservers to the new site that’s what people will see. You’re domain name will not change – just the site that people see. The idea of a shadow site is that you can build it before your have people visit it. Once you tell whoever manages your domain name your site’s new “address” (nameserver) it will direct people to the new site and not the old one. However until you’re ready for visitors your can just let them visit the old site (same name, different address or nameserver) until you’re ready.

So is a shadow site the new website with a different domain name? Does that mean that when you point the nameservers to the new site people will end up at a new domain name? What if you want to keep the domain name the same? Thanks!

Wherever your site name is registered your need to switch over the nameserver so it points to your new site. Most hosts have a tutorial on how to do this to make it easy.

I’m not worried so much about transferring the content over. What I need help with is figuring out how to keep my original domain name. After creating the shadow site (I guess this is simply a Wordpress site with a different domain name) what do you do to make the shadow site live with your original domain name? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! Your site is lovely by the way.
