Preparations on your original blog
You need to evaluate your blog and make an assessment of what articles you want to move.
You can make yourself a list, or do it in any way you want. The posts will be moved one by one, so this is no bulk operation.
Then you need to install a 301 redirect plugin. You only need to install this on your original blog. There is no need for a "receiving end" installation.
I use the Redirection plugin by John Godley.
The plugin is free and you install it as you install any plugin via the repository in Wordpress.
After install, the plugin can be found at Tools > Redirection
Next: Transfer the first content

When moving from a siterubix subdomain, I think SiteSupport can help you with the move of a complete site including comments and ranking.
(Most likely this is not a 'moving' of the site, it is more a change of where the new domain is pointing.)
If moving single posts and wanting to keep comments, you can do an export/import like suggested in a comment below.
I will update the training to mention this.

Hi Jorn, Thank you for your reply. You know I actually had not thought about contacting SiteSupport on this one.
You are right of course that would be an easy #1st question to ask.
Thanks for the tips. I have still book marked this training in case I need it. Cheers

Thanks, J for the much-needed info. I will have to check this plugin to see what else it does.
