    I want to create some subdomains or folders or whatever they’re called that are niche specific (whereas my blog itself has multiple niches. How can I move a post from the main blog over to the new sub-blog but still keep the URL intact?

    Example: I post on writedge.com and the url is writedge.com/video-games

    My new subdomain is http://games.writedge.com/

    How do I move the video game post over to games.writedge.com but still have the URL be writedge.com/video-games

    I don’t think you want to keep the URL as it was, maybe you want to inform the search engines that the post has moved? And have an automatic redirect on the old URL? So if I understand you right, you might want to use htaccess permanent redirects to do this. Edit the .htaccess file in the root of your old subdomain and add something like this:

    Redirect /post-name http://games.writedge.com/post-name

    Google “htaccess redirect” for more info.
    Having two posts with the same content isn’t a good idea.
    Hope that helps…

    But I do want it to be the same URL. Since I intend to move the content to the subdomain, there wont be any duplicate content. Redirect as a last resort.
