  Hello once again!

  I am getting there but there is one thing…

  Right now, I am http://www.rubydemuir.wordpress.com – what if I change my domain to, say, rubydemuir.net?

  I have already posted all my links in lots of places – will I have to change them all?
  Or, will both URLs work at the same time?

  Many thanks
  Best

  No, all the old links will automatically redirect to your new domain name and to the correct posts and pages.

  It would be a good idea on the ones that you can change, to go ahead and change them once you get the new domain name so that they will count toward your new domain name’s search engine ranking though. I would not make it a high priority, but it is something you should do on the ones where you can.
