The issue is to get people to find this blog if I would ever need to change domain names. Readers would need to change the feed in their RSS reader or in their bookmarks, and of course everything related to search engines (you lose your PageRank and everything has to be re-indexed) - there are tools for that, but it's still a hassle. For now I won't switch domains, hopefully not too much will change. The contents of this blog are on servers outside China, so that's not a problem.

If you ask me, I'd have backups one and two already in place ready to deploy, like I'm sure you already have, in case this gets a little more hairy.

What are the alternative extensions you're considering?
