For reference, the email I also received:

On December 11, 2012, you’ll be getting the new LinkedIn profile, which has a simplified design, provides deeper insights, and surfaces new ways to connect and build relationships. You’ll also be one of the first to preview a new way to showcase rich content on your profile — like presentations, videos, documents, and more.

Now there are more ways than ever to tell your professional story on LinkedIn, and we’re excited for you to try them out. As we roll out these changes, we’ll also be streamlining our app offerings, so the following LinkedIn apps will no longer be supported on the homepage or profile as of December 11:

We hope you like your new LinkedIn profile!

Why do this?!

So it looks like there is no support for this from LinkedIn and little from wordpress. If psharbaugh is having the same issue then it’s clearly not a one-off.

The old blog was https://jamesrossiter.wordpress.com and the new blog URL is https://blog.jamesrossiter.co.uk. I am using a paid-for redirect on the old blog to point to the new one.

I’ve made the change several times, including just now. In all cases it reverts to OLDBLOG. I even tried setting it to someone elses blog (which worked) and then setting it to NEWBLOG (which showed the posts from OLDBLOG)

It asks for WordPress blog URL so I added my new blog at https://blog.NEWBLOG.com, but it still lists posts from https://OLDBLOG.wordpress.com. I have a feeling it is caching the old blog..
