  Good morning,

  To change the name of your URL, follow the steps below:

  1. Once you log on to wordpress.com, click on ‘My Sites’.

  2. On the left-hand toolbar, scroll down to “Settings” and click that link.

  3. Scoll down, then click on “Change Site Address”.

  4. Click the green box that says “Primary Domain”

  5. Click “Edit Site Address”

  6. A window will pop up–hover your mouse over the linasrecipes.wordpress.com domain. “Change Blog Address” will appear. Click that link.

  7. Enter your new website address and confirm!

  I hope that helps. =)

  Hi! I’m sorry but when I Click the green box that says “Primary Domain” (point 4), I haven’t the button “Edit Site Address”…
  Is there a period of time I must wait before changing my website address?

  Thank you

  Hi again,
  No, there shouldn’t be a period of time you have to wait; the only thing is, once you change your domain name, you can never change it back, so that’s something to consider.

  So on step four, you’ll have two options to click–the “Primary Domain” button or an arrow on the side. (Click here for a picture of these buttons circled for you.)

  Once you click either one of those buttons, it should take you to a screen that looks like this (click here for a picture.)

  Is that button not appearing for you? Let me know! =) I’m happy to help.
