I was only getting around a thousand hits a day (mainly from friends and colleagues)

That made me chuckle. How many friends and colleagues do you have?!!

If you’re getting 1k a day then you’re certainly not just with friends and colleagues. I don’t know where you are planning to host it on but it will certainly generate a lot of bandwidth.

Db0 – That what WordPress.com charges for VIP hosting, which is the only way thus far to put ads on your blog. It’s $600 up front and then $300 per month for hosting. While I’m sure FAIL blog could cover that with ad revenue (assuming you plan to price your ads in line with ICHC), it still sucks.

Well that is the policy of WP from the beggining. I don’t agree with the cost but that’s their decision.
I you were planning to take this commercial from the start then wp.com was the wrong choice.

Are you hosted on your own host now or are you just preparing for the move still?
I’m asking since I still see I’m logged in Wp.com when commenting and my old feed still works.

ABC, leechio didn’t make the rules, he has to deal with them. And why would getting LiveJournal to change the RSS feed address be a pain?

leechio, I don’t think anyone expects their blog to blow up huge like yours did. I don’t fault you for moving off wordpress.com, even though it is a pain. I’m sure everyone will update their bookmarks and RSS feeds and life will go on. Good luck with the move!

And frankly, it’s not something I considered when I started the blog. I was only getting around a thousand hits a day (mainly from friends and colleagues) so expansion wasn’t on the cards. Now The FAIL Blog gets hundreds of times as many hits, I feel I can warrent spending my time developing new features.

I am sorry that a few of my readers will miss out (temporarily), but I’m confident the end will justify the means.

Sorry that WordPress sucks. Maybe the failblog folks should have thought of that earlier.

Getting LiveJournal to change the feed URL is going to be a big pain. I guess because of failblog’s FAIL, lots of people won’t read it anymore.

WordPress.com trying to get $600 from you up front and $300 per month afterward = FAIL!

This sounds interesting. What happened exactly?

The only domain redirecting they’ll allow is the domain mapping option they currently offer for those who wish to have their own domain name pointed to their wordpress.com blog. WordPress.com woudn’t let them point failblog.wordpress.com to failblog.org if FAIL blog is hosted elsewhere.

Also, should you change the E-mail to something like pictures@failblog.org?

It should work, as it worked for me when I redirected my blog to a new domain. It never changed the google positioning, it only took a few hours for it to notice the switchover.

Congrats, though :D

Instead of announcing a feed link on your domain (failblog.org — btw, congratulations for the new domain!), you would announce one in a stable 3rd party domain that won’t be changing any time soon.
