• I finally made the switch to WP from MT (yay…), but Google doesn’t like my permalinks at all (boo…). Searches for various old pages all show up with only the base domain address…which wasn’t the case at all under MT. What this means is that regardless of the term searched for, Google is showing/linking to only https://inkmuse.com/imblog/, when it should be, say,
    https://www.inkmuse.com/imblog/2005/01/11/the-taming-of-the-bean/

    (This was tested on a Google search for “taming of the bean inkmusings”)

    Any solution to this? At this rate, no one will be able to find anything within the site. And while the old saying, “All roads lead to Rome” might have been dandy a few thousand years ago, all Google searches leading to the home page…well, it sucks.

    I did use A.King’s WP redirect script to rebuild my MT individual archives one last time to force everything over to the new permalink structure…could that be why Google is defaulting to the base domain only???

  • I also just submitted the xml sitemap of my blog to Google, which should make the search results better. FYI
