I'll give you my quick answer here, but we can follow up on email. Yahoo is probably your best bet. Since TP and MT are both Six Apart products, you should have few problems. You own your domain and your permalinks reflect that so your search engine ranking shouldn't take a hit. Also, you shouldn't have any trouble with losing comments or permalinks. My big advice to you: set up a <em>test</em> blog first, before you go live with your switch. Also, be sure to check in with the MT <a href="http://www.sixapart.com/pronet/plugins/" rel="nofollow">plugin community</a> to see what kind of doodads you can get for your blog...

I want to take my blog from my TP Pro account to MT 3.2 and am obviously very concerned to get this right. Yahoo hosting seems the best option (currently I am using 170Gb per month bandwidth, so I'm covered with their 200Gb/400Gb option). I would like to ask you whether you expect problems for me in the following 4 points: (1) loosing ranks at Google and Goole Images, Technorati etc.; i.e. is it good enough to keep the identical URL to avoid any such problems--it should be possible to use the same URL as I have my own domain registered with PairNIC, right? (2) I can't have any of my perma-links broken - my readers and daily Google searches constantly pull up any of my 188 posts since I started my blog last year. Does MT 3.2 cater for that (there's precious little on that in their manual). (3) I love my design and layout just as it is. Can I simply cut-and-paste the TypePad style sheet into MT and will it look and 'feel' just the same? (4) I cannot lose any of the comments and trackbacks - this is critical to me. Is this a problem? For instance, both commenters and I myself have often included individual comment-permalinks in the text. Will all of that be maintained? Finally, I love your notification for followup commts via email as well as the "Subscribe without commenting" feature. Is that difficult to do in MT? OK - that's way too many questions already, but I hope you can understand and excuse my anxiety. I'd really apreciate your thoughts. Hi Bren

Simply go to your account page and look for the link that says "auto-rotate;" you have the option of having it either on or off.
