  Simple – just want to change the URL, which is not reflective of the title of my blog. Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Currently I type in http://www.StephanieMarti.com and I have a page with a “Enter Site” selection. I would like to have my clients type in http://www.StephanieMarti.com and have it directly forwarded to to http://www.StephanieMarti.com/blog. I contacted my host provider (1&1.com) and had it all set up. Is there anything else I would need to change on the wordpress side to ensure it is all working correctly?

  Thanks,
  Stephanie Marti

  We can chnage a blog title or optional tagline at any time here . Settings > Reading

  See here for the instructions you must follow to change your blog address ie. URL > http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  On the bottom of your Admin page you will find a link to the Learn WordPress.com blogging Tutorial prepared by Staff. http://learn.wordpress.com/
  The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page. The searchbox there provides results form both the docs and from forum threads.

  We do not provide support by email or by telephone. This is how to purchase a domain mapping upgrade and map a sub-domain:
