I have recently decided that my current personal blog does not fit my personality, needs, or requirements anymore. The domain, and design felt limiting and unprofessional, and so I decided I was going to move.

Some big questions that came up once I chose this path were:

• What domain should I use?
• What software will I want to use to power the site?
• When do I move from the old blog to the new blog?
• What do I bring with me to the new site? Everything, nothing, or only some of the posts and comments?

There are so many factors involved in moving a blog. My main concern was not maintaining my current readership, or traffic, or Google Page rank, or any such things. The motivation was purely personal. I wanted to start fresh, and the domain I was using, was such that I felt trapped by the name, instead of the feeling of empowerment that I used to feel.
