I've already moved a few months worth of posts and most should be moved by the end of October. It would be much easier if I didn't care about my Alexa and other metrics but I don't get to keep those when I move so I'm kinda leaning toward fixing up the new house before I completely move out of the old.

Also, I'm no expert on the subject, but are you sure you should keep two active domains going for any length of time? Are you sure it isn't better to switch it all over at once kind of like ripping off a bandaid so you can start building everything on the new domain as fast as possible?

It's less confusing for your readers that way and it may even be better for SEO - I don't know for sure on that one though.

I will be 301ing slowly to give time for the new site to be recognized. Right now there are about 9 posts of duplicate content but for the right now new posts will be on the new site and old posts on the old site.

Then 301s will come in a few months as all of the old posts are moved.
