I like the site. My biggest advice is that while you are still relatively new to get your own domain name. It is well worth the $7.50 per year if you plan to put a lot of effort into it.

Nice move buying the domain space! It is well worth the $10 expense per year. I went through the blogspot –> domain name transition last year. It really is quite easy and seamless in that blogger takes care of everything for you. It will still redirect traffic to your new domain. 

However, it does take about a week or two for it to get totally completely. In the meantime, just keep rockin' the blogspot.com!

Thanks for the advice! I just registered the domain name; now I'm just dealing with the headache of getting Blogger and the domain to play nice. Will probably take awhile to get it together, but I think it's a good idea in the long run.

Oh no! I finally got it to switch over, but the new domain has an Alexa ranking of zero. What do I do?

 

The Blogger URL redirects, so I guess I'm starting all over? Or will it come back after awhile?

I think that since you just went to a new domain name, you'll have to start over with Alexa. But I'm sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

So Over Debt, I just visited your site to help boost your Alexa ranking.  I wouldn't worry too much… in the early stages the numbers drop fast.  It shouldn't take you long to get back to where you were.  And all in all, getting the domain name was a smart decision for your blog's strength.
