301 Redirecting and keeping your Page Rank
If you've changed your domain name but you would like to keep your Page Rank?
You should do a 301 redirect, meaning that your page has been moved.
The best way to do this it is through the .htaccess file but some times you would not have access to this file, specially in free hosted sites.
So you can use a simple PHP snipet code, just copy and paste this
<?
Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
Header( "Location: http://www.my-new-domain.com" );
?>
First thing in your php page and for each page that you want to redirect.
This way you will be redirecting pages to your new domain and keep your well deserved Page Rank

Thanks, I was thinking about moving my blog, since my original blog title was not very seo friendly but was afraid I would lose all of my page rank. Thanks for the info, this will make my switch a little more stress free.
