I am moving my blog to a new domain and server. I did the easy part... backed up my WP files and the DB. Once the new server was ready with the new domain, I copied my WP files into the directory and restored the DB, and made sure to change all the SQL settings. I also changed the wordpress url and blog url in wp-admin. Now, when I go to the blog, the homepage, including widgets, ads etc loads up fine, and I can see the posts. But when I click on the post (the url of the post is now the new domain) it says Oops Page not found right away. What is going here??????

Without a link, hard to say for sure... but it sounds like an issue with your Permalinks. You might try visiting Settings -> Permalinks and setting them back to Default and testing. If that goes well, set them back to where you had them and see what happens.

Then yep, I'd say your Permalinks aren't working on the new host. Check that linked page for troubleshooting tips.
In particular, you might confirm with your host that mod_rewrite and AllowOverride are both on and enabled. You might also make sure that an .htaccess file is getting created/updated when you change Permalinks settings.
