You could go thou each and every post you have on wordpress and edit the post and replace it with a link to the post on your new site... LOTS of work but people would start to update there links after a while and you would have lots of incoming links to your site. Also i found this post because i was doing a search for people with the Dofollow plugin and i wanted to share my own two cents abluestar.com/blog/removing-the-nofollow-link The sooner you switch the better.

Also with redirecting from the wordpress.com to your current domain, did you have a play with the domain option in the dashboard? It's meant to be able to forward requests from your wordpress.com subdomain to a set domain name. But i don't know if you can use it with externally hosted site, worth a shot though. I've not used wordpress.com before, so i could be very wrong. In the google webmaster tools you can set the preferred domain (with or without WW) which is supposed to improve the indexing issue.

Just in case... Also a rewrite rule such that any www.example.com is redirected to example.com. On Wordpress the upgrade process when you have a lot of plugins sometimes isn't fun either... ps. Just noticed your "Notify me of follow up comments" checkbox appears at the bottom of the column in Firefox 2, a long ways away from where I is typing now. Are you exhausted yet? :o)
