I also mentioned in the previous post that although your original Urls for existing pages and content items are preserved, any new published blog posts will fallback to the default format. This also happens to any existing content that you republish.
By default, the Sitefinity Migration tool imports content items and pages with their original urls fully intact. That means all your old urls and SEO remain intact, including the original .aspx extensions from the old website.

With such a rapid, aggressive release schedule, Telerik has certainly kept me busy exploring the ever-increasing and always fantastic new features. But as it does […]
One of the biggest annoyances in ASP.NET is the way it adds CSS files to your <head> element of your pages. It insists on adding them to the end, offering you no way to add your own custom styles that override the theme unless you go down the line and add !important to each element. […]
Now that Sitefinity 4 has been out for over a month, the time I have available for maintaining the Sitefinity Toolkit is quickly diminishing. However, I still receive frequent emails asking for help, suggesting new features, or reporting bugs. I’m glad that so many of you continue to find the toolkit useful, and I regret […]
