    Hello,

    I have a blog that I want to move to a different domain. Is this something that can be done without losing all my information. cpanel is the control panel on both domains. Should I just backup the mysql db and restore it for the new account. If it gets more in depth please let me know.

    Yes, once it is resotred, you will need to give the new credentials to the config.php file, or a similar config file, and voila.

    Sounds pretty simple. I haven't been blogging long so I am trying to learn as much as I can. I am not sure if you know how to make WP actually show a page title. As you can see at my blog hoststadium.com the title is Host Stadium and beneath is Web Hosting Blog

    At google if I enter my hoststadium.com url it doesn't show the title just Host Stadium I want it to include the whole Host Stadium - Web Hosting Blog

    Matt,
    If you are using Wordpress it and you create schema just for wordpress usage then all you have to do is to import/export this schema. Then in your wp-config.php u make couple changes so that it can work with your new db.
    That's all.
