On Eileen’s advice (to avoid hyphen confusion), we changed the scrapbooking site domain name to scrapbookinggems.com

The process was pretty straightforward, although there was a lot of “tidying up” to do.

Biggest task was to update image urls embedded in posts.

Basic Process: 

1. Backup existing site to local PC
2. Select & register new domain name
3. Set DNS at registrar to same as old site
4. Request domain name change at ASC support

“Tidy Up” Tasks:

1. Update WordPress Options - General tab
2. Set up email
•     postie@scrapbookinggems.com
•     genie@scrapbookinggems.com
•     etc
3. Configure Postie
4. Configure ContentPress
5. Configure BlogDesk
6. Configure OutlookExpress
7. Image addressing within posts and pages - still reference scrapbookingg.com
• (temp fix - re-host scrapbookingg.com and upload the content. Scrapbookinggems.com can then access all the images via scrapbookingg.com)
8. Claim blog at Technorati
9. Update/replace header image
10. Add url to CJ.com, MyBlogLog, etc
