What dB are you referring to? I've changed the title and slug before without a problem.

I use Wordpress 2.2.2.

I believe I'm using 2.0.2 - Comes in handy when you make title mistakes like myself

I'd beg to differ here.

Ages ago, I blogged about the film Casino Royale. I mispelled James Bond as "James Bone", but I got hundreds of people from google who mistyped James Bond as "James Bone", it got me a few adsense clickthroughs too (I still got "James Bond" ads in my adsense). So it depends on your typo. If you feel you can get residual searches, then it may be worthwhile keeping the typo.

Valid point and thanks for pointing that out. I guess it depends on an analysis of the typo and then choose what you think would work best. If your site is relatively new maybe a typo of a popular phrase could bring you more traffic than a popular one with heavy and stiff competition.
