I recently set up a blog on typepad (example.typepad.com) but created a forwarding address (example.org.uk) which sent traffic to the typepad blog.

A few weeks ago I changed to a wordpress blog and set up the domain (example.org.uk) as a real domain where the wordpress blog is hosted.

However, when I go into webmaster tools and look at Google cache of my page, it still sees the old example.typepad.com. I have told the typepad blog to stop itself from being seen by Google.

My new wordpress blog has a sitemap and I have submitted it to Google. It is being picked up in Google blogsearch quite ok.

Anyone know what is going on - and if it even matters?

it will take a while for the old blog to fall out of google . nothing serious to worry about.

The Google cache is just that: a local record of a past Googlebot crawl, with the spider's "finds" having been saved to Google's servers.

Until your site is re-crawled, Google won't "know" about your changes; the cache will only display the new information after that information has been "discovered" and recorded.

Long story short, malcolmcroucher is exactly right. No worries, mate! *smile*
