Changing email addresses

Hello, everyone.

I am relatively new to the concepts represented by GnuPG, and don't
get a chance to use them very often.

Back in August I created a keypair and sent them to a keyserver.  Now
I've changed email addresses, and am not sure whether I've done the
correct thing with my keypair.

I read the GnuPG Privacy Handbook, and decided I should revoke the
signature on my key with the "revsig" command.  Then I added a user id
with the "adduid" command (using my new email addr) and re-exported
the key to the keyserver.  My old uid was "Ben Logan
<blogan@newcreature.org>" and my new one is "Ben Logan
<ben@wblogan.net>".

Did I do the right thing?

Thanks,
Ben
