  Here’s my question: How do I move an exisitng blog to a new domain? I already paid for the new domain and have decided not to renew the old domain name. Now, when folks click on my my website link, it takes them to my old domain and notifies them that it has not been renewed. I don’t want to renew it because I want them to navigate to the new domain, but with the same blog as before. Do I have to scrap the blog and start over? Thanks.

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

  What is the URL of the new domain please?

  You do not have to move content. You just need a domain mapping upgrade to the new domain URL.

  I typed modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for Staff help.

  @ Audrey:

  Can you give it another try? Your new domain name should be pointing to your site properly now.
