  I recently started a blog and now want to change the name to something more fitting to the subject matter of the blog. I don’t need to change the domain name at all, just the title that comes up on the page. Is that possible? And if so, if people are already following the blog, will they not be able to find it anymore or is the domain name (which isn’t changing) the way to “find” the blog?

  Thanks!
  Elizabeth

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

  Please provide a link to your blog starting with http://

  If you are not changing the URL, then people who have bookmarked your site (or have feeds) will still be able to find you.

  But, I often tell people to just Google “Tess Japanese Kitchen” to find my blog, and so if I changed my title they would not find me. Those people are my friends and I know they are not interested in Japanese food, so I’d not lose many readers but it’s something to consider.
