Moving to the other side of town is bad enough; I can only imagine what it's like to move from one country to another. They say that you're supposed to leave a paper trail. Good idea; when you change e-mail addresses or get a new URL for your Web page, be sure to let people know. I'll concede that it's not always easy to keep everybody in the loop. This is why it's good to keep many lines of communication open at all times; multiple e-mail addresses, Web mail accounts, instant messaging installations. Rule of thumb: share with your contacts at least THREE different ways to find you (electronically). As far as Web site relocations are concerned, you can upload a change of address page to your old URL. Simply create a hyperlink and tell your visitors where your new Web home happens to be. It's common courtesy; who likes hitting a 404?
