Life Empowered System - application

Problem :
What are the effects of a change in name / link of a website ? For example, blogspot allows us to change our site name very easily. Now, once my blog is up & I've been posting some reviews, after 20 days I think another name might be better for it.

Analysis :
I can think of these effects. Please add on :

In case of website Name change only (not link) :

  • Link maintenance, if we have interlinked our webpages with others - we'd need to change the links pointing to the one which we desire to change name of.
  • Change in perception of people who already know the website - friends whom you told. Initial memory imprints are stronger than modified ones.

In case of link name change :

  • Lost track from bookmarks of interested users, who decided to come back later to the website & kept a bookmark on their computer browser.
  • Link maintenance.
  • People might assume the site came & went off so fast - "was it a fake" ?
Solution :

When I've raised this question, then I must think of some problem to the solution.
I think, it's better to create another free blog with the new name & link-name you want & copy the previous blog's contents to the new one too. Interlink them, saying in the old one, that new updates would be posted here --> and create link. After this, you can strat maintaing only the new one. this way, we won't loose the previous visitors too & have the new name / link which we wanted.

What do you say ? You may let me know through your comments (link below).
