 * Nothing much. Just change the URLs in “Options | General” and you should be good
   to go.
 * All incoming links to your site will become dead, though — You’d have to deal
   with that.
 * Backing everything up before you do it is a good idea, too.

 * Why don’t you consider redirecting from your new add to your old add!
    otherwise
   you’ll have to loose all the incuming links!!! 🙁 Mayu

 * By just changing the urls in settings, that would result in broken images in 
   the media library and post. Is there any fix to that? Thanks.

 * Forgot about this … just wanted to make sure that minus what Pinoy said, I have
   nothing else to be aware of? Usually apps like this break on the database side
   by changing the folder location …
 * Just want to make sure.
 * Thanks!
