 =====Change Your Gmail Address=====

+The following link tells how to effect a change to your email address.  Suppose you created your old email address using your birthday, and realize that this is not a good thing to do.  Read on.
 From the link below, it says: ''There's no way to actually change the Gmail address linked to your Google account, but you can do so in essence by creating a new Gmail address and linking it to your original, established account. After creating the new Gmail account, change your settings so that messages sent to your new address will be automatically forwarded to your original account. You'll also need to change your settings so that you can send e-mail as your new alias from your old account.''
