    Can we talk more about what you’re building? I’d love to give you more tips and suggestions and get you down the right path. For example:

    • what goals do you have
    • how do you imagine the visitor experience to be
    • any examples of existing sites you’d like to emulate
    • do you want to build it on your own or use our team

    Using a personal plan will assist in branding and professionalism. It includes a custom domain that visitors will see in their browsers, and it will rank better for SEO purposes. This plan also allows you to remove ads from the site. Write back to me here with more questions. Be well!

    Hi there, thank you.

    When I go to the ‘Domain’ screen, I can only see options to purchase a new domain, which I don’t want at the moment. Please see the screenshot for reference.

    I am just looking to change the URL name before the ‘wordpress.com.’ Is there somewhere else I should be searching?

    Yes you can find that here: https://wordpress.com/domains/manage/memoriesbylor.wordpress.com

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
