Change in Blog URL

Hey,

I currently blog at www.archieunplugged.blogspot.com. I registered this id, long back and since then have been using it. Now, I feel it is way too long. Or, just that it does not really show anything about me or the blog. Also, secretly  - I have heard people ask me if I am a singer :P

I have been thinking of a change of my url to www.archwrites.blogspot.com. Now, if I do this – what are the disadvantages? Most of my traffic is via FB, or from readers who have me on their google reader.

  1. Will google reader continue to redirect to the new URL?
  2. Is there a way I can leave a message for users to move to the newURL?

Also, if you think all this is too risky, let me know. I will just drop the idea.

If you ask me, forget about what people say or how long is the URL. I like this name and much more than what are you going to change it with. Just forget about changing it gal.
