  I changed by username (divorce, long story) and hit the SECOND option down, not the one to delete everything, but to just change the name. I can see my posts are still there on admin view but can no longer see on Google Search. When I try to find, it says the old name was deleted, does not send me to new or anything. I’ve had this site since 2008…my heart there. I have no idea what to do, not tech savvy. Please help.

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

  Howdy –

  pattiwade.wordpress.com has over 100 posts. Do you see them when clicking on My Sites – Posts ?

  Yes, I do, thank you so much! When I search on Google though, I find nothing there. I’m sorry.

  Are you searching Google for pattiwade.wordpress.com or by the post titles? It will take Google about 6 weeks to pick up a new site in their index.
