Thank you! It’s never an easy decision that’s for sure. Now that a few months have passed, I can say that it was the right decision. If my blog was getting a ton of traffic under the old name, I probably wouldn’t have done it, but since it wasn’t and I was at the point where I wanted to really give it my all, it was a now or never kinda thing. I know myself well enough to know that if I hadn’t changed it, I would be eternally asking myself “Should I have changed it?” Thanks again for your feedback and I’ll make sure to check out your sites as well!

I appreciate your sharing about the struggles of a blog name change. I have renamed and refocused the purpose of both of my blogs once, and it took a lot of work. I’ve thought about changing the name of Future Expat since it really doesn’t explain what the site is about. It started out as a travel diary, but quickly evolved into a blog more about recipes, dogs and blogging tips than my few and far between trips. I ended up deciding to leave the name alone from the advice of a good friend who has a blog that is her full time job. I can say that people always chuckle when they hear the name and my explanation…”it started as a travel diary but I don’t travel enough so I mostly write about…”. Anyway, I do like the new name and plan to explore more.
