It’s been less than a week since I made the transition from a blogger publishing format to the new wordpress powered blog.  When I did that some of the old posts and URLs changed a bit, the archives moved, labels were now categories, etc.  I set up automatic redirects that sent a header response of 301 (permanent).  I also uploaded a new sitemap file in google’s webmaster tools.

Checking today, and some of the old URLS are now already changed in the index, updated to the new format and locations.  I am really impressed.  Checking the stats it took 2 days for the site to be completely re-crawled after the change, then it looks like they cam back and checked a smaller proportion a day or so later.  Yahoo! on the other hand has been crawling like mad, but has yet to update their index.  MSN, well really who cares?  They send so little traffic it’s statistically insignificant.
