It's all a little painful. Really i shouldn't worry about rankings as like you say I'm not money orientated but it is nice to be higher in the ratings.

Since you don't really monetize your blog it doesnt matter, however if you wanted to it would. Now you basically have to start over in page rank, you want be indexed in google. The longer the domain has been around the more its trusted, the higher its ranked etc. You lose all of your technorati stats, and really have to start over. Then you also have to build your alexa rank. I just moved two blogs of blogspot, and I'm happy that i did, however im not sure you should move yours It depends.

As it turns out, it caused some problems. I lost some reader, lost some time and lost some momentum on several fronts including revenue. My advice now is to stay put. If you have a new idea or a concept, get a domain and start an entirely new, but separate blog. See if it actually takes hold or if it fades. See if you still have the energy for your old blog on your old site after the new one comes up. I ported over a blog from a free blog on blogspot to a blog on my own domain.
