May be better posting at jobs.wordpress.net

Well, seeing it is getting the information from Twitter and that information is public, I dunno what they will actually do in terms of removing it. You really should make your tweets private if you don’t want people looking at it.

According to the domain whois (public information), the e-mail address is

dui…@gmail.com <- (Using Recaptcha, click the dots in the e-mail)

WordPress.com do not hold any copyright over your work to what I recall.

Besides, why would they do that when they seem to want to promote freedom of speech by offering the free services. If you are that worried, get a lawyer to look over the terms of services for WordPress.com.

All I know, is they have the right to backup your work but not to own the copyright. Basically, see it as you are giving them a right to backup your own work and that’s it.

No problem at all, I am sure you will do fine. Just remember not to delete your WordPress.com blog and you are always able to just start again with the mirgation.

Any problems, just post on here and I am sure I or something else will see it.

Good luck 😀

Making the jump is very easy and you will lose nothing at all.

First what you want to do is go to your WordPress.com website, go to tools and export your website. This will export all your posts, comments, pages etc etc.

Then go to your webhost and setup your domain to point to the webhost. Setup and install WordPress, setup the same permalinks and then import your export file into your new WordPress website.

It will then import and that’s it in a nutshell. There is also jobs.wordpress.net incase you don’t feel like doing it yourself as I am sure there is people like me on there that will do it for a very low price.

Although, always best to just try it yourself first as the learning process is always good.

This code has not been tested and may / may not work exactly as you need but this is mearly so you can get started. I would advice to just do it around parts to remove bits in the sidebar rather then remove the whole sidebar. There may be some format issue in the code below due to bbPress but the code below should get you started.

<?php
$AreWeGoogle = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

if ( $AreWeGoogle == "Googlebot/1.0 (googlebot@googlebot.com http://googlebot.com/) " ) {
// This is what Google would see. Leaving it blank means nothing is seen.
}else{
// Whatever you never wanted Google to see
}
?>

My example only works with Google, but you can adapt for others.
