Don't worry too much about the many years or posts you have previously invested, or the PR4/PR5 pagerank you've achieved. You can always post weekly in your old site about the changes in your new site. You can also edit old posts and indicate the location of your new site. What's more painful is sticking with the old site and not having any control on its continued existence. Want to raise the PR of your new site? Continue writing useful/informative articles. Adding a podcast will help, too. :-) The sooner you move from your free site to your own domain, the better.

Ngayon i'm looking for a web host na free hehe, with no ads like what i'm using pero sana around 5 gigs ang monthly bandwoidth like 5gigs have kaso lang sign-up ngayon ang 5gigs. Well most comments naman nareretain kung idependent host ang gamit mo yung may cpanel and phpadmin para makuha mo yung database mo and transfer it to a new host. aside from that may freeware na can change the url inside te databes para gumana ang site. traffic is also no problem with me wala naman nagbabasa ng site ko so ok lang. well ako, i have no problem with moving my blog, actually kakamove ko lang last month then went back to my old host (nagsara yung webhost na gamit ko).

A PR of 4 is really hard to let go. I did a permanent redirect but rebuilding a new blog to measure up to the old one isn't a walk in the park. Still, the prospect of moving opens up new opportunities as well as challenges. The journey so far, has been fun and very rewarding, frustrations are just the spice of things.
