Not a happy place. If you do an all-domain redirect, that's basically what you have now. You can do some interesting things... like redirect, then detect the incoming referer (misspelling intentional -- it's in the HTTP spec) and open a pop-up on kelly's page... no, screw that, because blogger means no scripting. Ummm. You kinda want to make Kelly the queen then (I know, she already is, but in terms of who gets the jakeldaily domain ;-)), and transition to a self-hosted blog there. Then move the making money blog to a different domain and add the redirects to the new hosted Kelly-blog. Which means loads more work. It would probably take me 4 hours, but I'd budget a whole day of time to make sure all the kinks were ironed out and make sure downtime were minimized to as little as possible (probably only a couple of minutes with good planning). With significant readership, you really don't want to have much downtime. Ewwww. Not a happy place.

One question would people still be able to type in www.jakeldaily.com and get my wife's blog because she has one year contracts with advertisers already with agreements to that address?

Us web developers *try* and pay attention. ;) Yours (the making money blog) has to be hosted WP, though, because of all your plugins, so that becomes your "master" -- you have to keep jakeldaily for that one unless you export kelly's blog to a self-hosted version first. Switching an entire domain is the easy part, so the blog being moved is pretty simple. It's the "master" -- the one that has to handle the redirects -- that has to be hosted, because you need to use a server-side scripting langauge (I'd use php for this) to process the redirect. I talk about redirects and have some sample code that might help you out over at <a href="http://fuery.com/2007/04/01/poor-mans-affiliate-click-tracking/" rel="nofollow">Smart Guy</a>. The post is geared towards affiliate tracking, but the redirect logic is the same. I know, I caught that. Us web developers *try* and pay attention. ;)

You would just need to capture the URL and parse it properly to formulate the new destination URL. Cross reference it against your sitemap so that only the old links get referred. So www.jakeldaily.com/one/of/kellys/articles/ would redirect to --> newsite.com/one/of/kellys/articles, but www.jakeldaily.com/a/brand/new/article would not redirect. Make sense? It's a couple hours of work, though -- not sure if its worth it. It might be. One thing is for sure: if you think you want to do it someday, the sooner the better. hth.

So http://www.jakeldaily.com/one/of/kellys/articles/ would redirect to –> newsite.com/one/of/kellys/articles, but

http://www.jakeldaily.com/a/brand/new/article would not redirect.
