Whatever be your final decision,make sure that you don't regret it.

It was a hard decision for me too but I realized and knew for sure that it will be best to make this move. I won't be blogging forever, so one day I might have to sell away this blog or hand it over to other people Thanks for your feedback, buddy.

Well. I do not remember if this was a previous post or a comment you made on one of your previous posts, but I remember you saying a long time ago how you were sad that your domain name was Michael Aulia, and how someone reassured you that you only had to look at Darren Rowse to see that your (personal) name *can* become your brand, and your identity *can* become more than just "the author of that blog" (which is now what your identity will surely become because of the title Craving Tech). Alas, it seems that even after all these months, your "sadness" has won over. It is true of course (and I doubt any of us will deny) that you are not exactly as famous as Darren Rowse and John Chow, but *I* personally felt that michaelaulia.com was the perfect domain name for your blog. It allowed me to *immediately* associate the blog with the person writing it, rather than viewing the blog as if it was written by some vague unknown computer robot. It made reading the blog personal to the reader, and it made readers a bit more focused on your personality and not just the content, which, as you know, is not always of little importance. Now, even the "personal" is gone from your slogan/tagline/sub title. =( When thinking of "Craving Tech", I feel like the person behind the words whom I've gotten to know so well and who has been a much bigger factor in reading your blog than the content of it was; is gone. I can of course see exactly why a "better" title and domain name for your blog would be a temptation for you. Craving Tech automatically creates a brand, automatically replaces "personal" with "professional", and is truly a great title that people can remember, refer to, and speak to their friends about. I say "temptation" because you weren't in real need of a new domain name; you were doing very well in your content part and having a personality behind the words part. MichaelAulia.com was how all of your readers knew your blog by and referred to it... and I just can't see how a new domain name will attract a whole new horde of visitors. After all, it was your content that attracted people to your site in the first place, not your blog name. I really doubt that when people Google and see your article, neither Craving Tech nor Michael Aulia will make an impression on them. They are focused solely on the blog post and what it has to offer, not how professional the name sounds. I can see how *you* might see how this will help you, and truly can't decide which side of the "debate" to take. I'll just wish you the best of luck with your shiny new domain name - hopefully it will bring you success! Oh my. Well.
