[BNM] Moving wordpress blogs from subdomains

[Gillian Pearce]

Hi Kelvin

" Is this what you mean?"

No, not really what I meant. All the blogs are on completely different
topics and I've done the SEO on them as if they were separate sites. There
were put on subdomains originally because they were on free hosting. When I
moved them to better hosting I moved them "as is". Then, I decided I should
put them on their own domains for reasons stated earlier. Then when I
thought it through I realised I'm not sure if there are any real benefits in
moving them or disadvantages in leaving them as they are.

Cheers
Gillian
