Within the next few days, all blogs and photo albums in this TypePad subdomain (nevon.typepad.com) will reflect my new domain address (www.nevon.net).
Using a procedure called domain mapping, I’ve set up the TypePad domain so that it will show all content as my domain. While www.nevon.net already forwards to the current TypePad subdomain, domain mapping means that all content for all blogs, etc, within the TypePad subdomain will display addresses (permalinks, etc) with my own domain rather than TypePad’s.
I’ve also set up DNS management at my domain host (GoDaddy - fantastic service), a procedure that was very straightforward. All I need to wait for now is for the DNS changes to take effect, which will take anything up to 48 hours. Then, switch on the change at TypePad and it then happens. So I expect the target to change will be this Wednesday, maybe earlier.
The change won’t affect anyone’s bookmarks or favorites: typing in the current TypePad address - either for a blog address or for any individual post within a blog or photo album - will simply re-direct it to the new address.
Once I’ve enabled the change, I’ll post information on my main blog.
