Changing domains was a big decision. My biggest concern was being able to keep my user, RSS feed, and search engine traffic. Luckily, the power of the .htaccess file allowed me to do so:

The above .htaccess file code, placed on the old domain, redirects the user to the same URL on the different domain.
Quick, easy, and functional.

One more note. I recommend keeping your old domain for at least a year. Make sure to give users and search engines time to update.
