  If I change my blog address, will I lose my followers? I want to change my blog address, but I’m afraid that I will lose my followers, comments, etc. Will I retain followers if I change my blog address?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If you are considering changing the blog address ie. the URL starting with http:// and do not want to loose followers, have your new blog’s page rank start from zero again, etc. see here for the guide for doing that > http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  If you do change your blog address, permalinks to your old address, including search engine results, will be broken unless you purchase a Site Redirect upgrade.
