Hi Jay
Here's what I'd do:
-
Create your new WordPress site
-
As Matt says, try to keep your URLs the same if possible. You can probably adjust these with your Permalink Settings: https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
-
If the URLs are the same, no need for redirects.
-
If they are different, you can do 301 redirects with either a redirect plugin or directly in the .htaccess file
You can check everything when you're done by running a crawler, like Moz's crawl tool or Screaming Frog SEO Spider. Fix any additional 404s you find by redirecting them.
-
-
If you only have about 10 of these, I would just copy & paste it in.
The biggest thing to keep in mind is to keep the URLs the same. So yoursite.com/blog/your-post should still go to the same place. Otherwise you do have to do 301 redirects and all that stuff. If possible skip that by keeping the same URL/permalink.

Is the Sandbox Real? Need Help!
To start, I'm very new at this so I've likely made a ton of mistakes but here is the breakdown of what's happened/what's been done to my site. I own a wedding photography company which was based in Portland, we decided about six months prior that we wanted to relocate to San Diego. It was too soon to optimize our website for our new town of San Diego so I created a brand new site. It was born around June 2011. It looks just like the old site but all the content is different (different titles, re-uploaded images, text, etc was optimized for San Diego). What may be my pitfall is I imported our blog posts from the old site to the new site and we continued to keep both blogs live (writing the post in one, importing to the other). San Diego site: http://continuumweddings.com Old Site (now optimized for LA): http://continuumphotography.com From there I began link building. I signed up for the SEO Scheduler and began making the changes suggested there. It told me to sign up for Linxboss, and I did it. Other than that, my links have been build naturally and I have quite a few of them, definitely enough to compete with my top competitors. At one point I was #3 for "San Diego Wedding Photographer" and I stayed there for a couple weeks. Then I began to drop. Now I'm somewhere on page 10. I've read a lot of articles on here and I know I have a lot of things potentially hurting me. Site age, Duplicate content, etc. I'm just not sure why I dropped (still rank on 1st page in Yahoo & Bing) and what I should do about it. I tend to get overwhelmed and every post I read seems to talk about something new I may have done wrong. I'm willing to put in the time to fix this; I just need to know where my time is best spent.
