Redirect or Import?

    2-1/2 months ago I started a punnyponderings.blogspot.com account. Within three weeks and about 15 posts later, I purchased the domain punnyponderings.com. I redirected the blogger account to the domain (now holding approximately 60 posts). Last week I purchased another domain called SoHumorMe.com that will be independently hosted and created in WordPress. I want all 3 web addresses to ultimately end up at SoHumorMe.com.

    Not sure if I should redirect the punnyponderings.blogspot.com AND the punnyponderings.com to SoHumorMe.com. If I redirect, will the posts AND the comments show up with their original dates? Would it be better to import the blog posts and start over with SoHumorMe.com? Would that give me faster load times than re-directing? Can I import comments? Can I re-create comments with a date that has already transpired? I’m only talking about 50 followers at this point in time.

    Thank you very much. I want to make this decision before I have too many more posts.

    If you redirect punnyponderings.com to SoHumorMe.com, all that will happen is visitors to punnyponderings.com will go to SoHumorMe.com. No content will be transferred. Instead, import the content of punnyponderings.com to SoHumorMe.com and then redirect both punnyponderings.blogspot.com and punnyponderings.com to SoHumorMe.com .
