Add a Domain Name to a Blogger Blog

I'm ready to post here again.

If you've explored my other blogs, then you may have noticed that my most active blog is my wine blog - http://www.wild4washingtonwine.com/ - it even has a new domain name.

Adding a Domain to a blogspot.com Blog

I started my Washington wine blog in 2006. Blogger was the obvious choice for blogging, so I chose the name http://wild4washingtonwine.blogspot.com/. Not exactly the friendliest to type, but it works. After almost four years of blogging about Washington wine, I decided it was time to add a real domain name. Fortunately, Blogger makes it easy to add a domain name to an existing blog and it only costs $10 per year to keep the domain name registered.

Now when you go to my wine blog, go to http://www.wild4washingtonwine.com/ the site is there just as always. Although, I've been making use of the new template designer Blogger has added. So my wine blog does look different since I've been making changes to it.

One of the other pluses is, I now have email addresses with my new domain name @wild4washingtonwine.com. This helps with "brand" identity and I can add as many new email addresses as needed. Now I just need to print up some new business cards with my new URL and Email.

Now How Cool is That?
