I'm moving a site to a new domain either this week or the next week for a reason.  I did this once in the past, and when I did that, I set up the site on the new domain, and immediately after that, I replaced the old domain with 301 redirect.  This is kind of tricky and I'm wondering if I can keep both sites for a period of time, for like, uh, a week or so.  Is this going to be a problem?

I suppose that if I rebuild and add a bunch of new content on the new domain to such a extent that the domain will look like a different site, then there is no reason why I should just wipe out the old domain?  That's something that I'd like to to ...
