new web site address - ?

So, I'm playing around setting up a new domain name for the blog.

http://www.man-versus-triathlon.com/

Does this screw up google reader and all of that?  Will you guys still get updates via google reader?

Let me know so I can keep you all in the loop!

Thanks

If you setup a new blogger site, it will jack it up. If you apply man-versus-traithlon.com as the domain name to falkeetriathlon.blogpsot.com, then I am pretty sure it will work OK. (Settings -> Publishing)

Not that I have anything against *.blogspot.com names, but I think it's always better to have an actual domain name. It's not that difficult to setup and it is fairly cheap. Granted I definitely see the conundrum of already having a well groomed readership and making a change like this.

You have plenty of PR techniques with your newsletter and twitter account that people will likely make the change if it does negatively effective RSS readers.

Some info on a custom domain name with an existing blogger account: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/blogger/thread?tid=60361ad0cf2ef459&hl=en

Looks like you will be OK but don't quote me on it ;)

Thanks for the tips. Until I can sit down and get a good game plan, I'm just going to direct www.man-versus-triathlon.com to my blog.
