 * Interesting! I think I understand what you are saying, but I can’t figure out
   how to do this since I cannot access the .htaccess file in my wordpress.com site.
   Am I understanding the process correctly?
 * How do I actually set up the 301 redirects from [http://www.quietpilgrim.wordpress.com](http://www.quietpilgrim.wordpress.com)
   to [http://www.quietpilgrim.com?](http://www.quietpilgrim.com?)
 * I see that once these redirects are in place I can submit a change of address
   in Google’s search console, but I’m not familiar with how to actually implement
   these 301 redirects. Any simple way to explain this? Much appreciated!

 * Also, since I have Jetpack connected to my new site and the old, I can’t tell
   how much of the traffic is from the wordpress.com site and how much is from the
   self-hosted domain. Any help would be much appreciated!
