@G-so: Dagon Desing was out for a short period, you can download again from http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/sitemap-generator-plugin-for-wordpress/
BuddyPress is something complete different, BuddyPress is a WordPress forum plugin.

@Carrie: You are on the wordpress.com network, that means there are some restrictions, but if you edit your pages you should see a field below the helper link that states Discussion uncheck both options and the commentbox will disappear. You should doe that on every page where you don’t want the box to appear. P.s. You can do this with posts as well.

@Carrie, that is because you are on the wordpress.com network. on this free service you are not allowed to install themes or plugins. Check http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

I’m using Coraline. I just added static pages. They all have the comment box at the bottom. I’d like the comment box on the blog but not the static pages. Do you have any suggestions?

@Chris: Yes, that is correct, basically you want the page links (URLs) to stay the same as the old one. This is te ensure you keep the rankings you currently have in the search engines.
Until the go-live of the site inthe cms/ folder you block the search engines. After go-live you get the same urls as the current links.

As for the change in urls, yes you can do that and make the new page /information.html
To keep your rankings you can do a .htaccess redirect like:
redirect 301 /Leuthner-Law-Office-Contact-Information.html http://www.leuthnerlaw.com/contact-information.html
(should be one line !!)

That way you tell the search engines that that is the new pagelink. Do keep in mind that PR will follow a lot later or you may loose the Pagerank is not a factor in your search engine rankings.

So simply stated: Yes you can change the pagelink :-)

When you talk about setting the permalinks, do you mean making sure the page links for the new site are the same as the old one? So on my old site, if it is http://www.leuthnerlaw.com/Leuthner-Law-Office-Contact-Information.html, I’d want the new one to be leuthnerlaw.com/cms/Leuthner-Law-Office-Contact-Information.html (since it is in development in a subfolder called /cms).

What if I want to change the url (it seems weird to have our firm name after the website name). If I wanted it to be http://www.leuthnerlaw.com/contact-information.html on the new site, would it just be http://www.leuthnerlaw.com/cms/contact-information.html on the developmental site?

Thanks!
