  Hi! thanks for your speedy reply.

  I wanted to create a blog but it seems like I created a website instead. Is there any way of changing that without deleting what I already have?

  Thank you for your time

  Regards,

  Bennie

  Hi Bennie,

  Can you please send me the site URL to check? Also, I’m still not quite sure, to confirm, you would like to keep the site content but change the design or layout of the site?

  Or would you like to change the domain .com to .blog?

  Thanks!

  Sure!
  Here it is:

  https://wordpress.com/home/drapeters.wordpress.com

  I haven´t written any posts yet. I just want it to be a blog, not a website with a blog.

  And I´d also like to know if it´s possible to change the name: it´s now “drapeters” could it be changed to “MammaBee”?

  Thank you for your time.

  Regards

  Hi there,

  To change your site design to a blog instead of a website, you can change the theme of your site to give it the look of a blog, here is the link to the support document to help you understand how that works:

  https://wordpress.com/support/themes/

  You also mentioned that you want to change your domain name from “drapeters.wordpress.com” to “MammaBee.wordpress.com”, please know that domain names cannot have any capital letters in it, it can be “mamabee.wordpress.com”. To change your WordPress.com site address, please follow the link below and follow the instructions:

  Thanks!
