What's in a (Domain) Name?

Check your browser's address bar: you are at renaissance-fanfare.net instead of prologue.ning.com.

The old address will continue to work indefinitely, so no worries about saved bookmarks or posted links etc.   Unfortunately, saved passwords will have to be re-saved by your browser. 

I'm still torn: is it worth changing names mid-course?  Or does the stronger and hosting platform independent "brand" identity help?  I'm leaning toward sticking with the new name, in case something happens to Ning (where we are currently hosted.)
