  Earlier this year, I changed my blog name from marketingmarc.wordpress.com to everydayexecutive.wordpress.com. I want to change the name again but under My Blogs –> Blog Name, I don’t see the option to “Change Blog Address.”

  Is it possible to change the URL again?

  Thanks!

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

  If you already own the blog, please follow these steps:

  Log into the old blog, go to Tools → Export, and download the XML (WXR) file to your computer.
  In the new blog, go to Tools → Import → WordPress, and upload the file you downloaded in step 1. After you upload the file, you can choose the option to Download & import file attachments if you want to move your media files.

  I meant marketingmarcinmadison.wordpress (as the old site). Sorry.

  I had tried the Import/Export earlier. There was a message that I’d be informed when the conversion was done. Got the confirmation email and nothing changed.

  Thanks for the reply tho! ;)

  I just tried the Export/Import again and got it to work. I must have fat-fingered it before.

  Thanks for you help! I’m all set. :)
