Change Domain Name

  • Unknown's avatar

    My blog is anonymous and recently a few people started reading my blog that I wish I hadn’t (they aren’t followers or users, just viewers). I would like to change my website address and name altogether, but I was reading that wordpress would automatically redirect the new users. What options do I have? If any.

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

    Make the blog you have now private and that will mean no one can read it. To change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

    Note that you can make and export file of the content and import it into a new blog if you wish, http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-between-wordpress-com-blogs That is a risky business as it may clue others into the new blog when they use google search, and the blog you have now is a mere 3 weeks old so it doesn’t have much content.

    Log out, clear your browser cache and cookies. Then using a different email address register another username account and then register a new blog under it. Be sure you don’t provide any clues that prompt others to connect your username and the first blog to the second username and blog.
