  Friends were telling me that they thought it would make it easier to find my blog if I changed the original site title from Word Chaser to my name. I did this and now search engines cannot find my site. So I changed it back to the original site title and search engines still cannot locate my site Menthenga.com

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

  By the way, is it possible to change your site title?

  Change the site title on the Settings->General page. Changing the URL is more complicated.

  Every time you change a domain, you lose ALL search engine ranking that had accrued to your blog, and start again from zero.

  Changing a title has an effect, but not quite so devastating.

  You will have to wait while search engines re-index your blog. To expedite the process, make some posts.
