I like blogs and it’s my passion to write it on, sometimes I do think that if I have to change my blog topic from whole new series or something and secondly I have a plenty of my friends associated there.

My questions are, how do you "retire" your blog? Do you just warn your readers that you will be changing things and use the same page address or do you just start fresh and leave a trail for your readers to follow?

Well um I've never switched blogs since I just started but I have switched sites before and I just put a notice on my site a few weeks in advance. If I moved just out of the blue I leave a link on my index page and they click it and go to the new site.

Ummm, --> Designers Cafe?

Yeah, same here.

I usually just put a post saying big change are being made to the site/blog and I have to start fresh if I want to keep the same address.

Good idea to just leave a trail if you want to completely change the address that way you won't lose your followers.
