  Since you can’t change those settings here and the site linked to your name is blank and your account is only 7 minutes old – you are in the wrong forum

  The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.

  ~TT – you be welcome

  Actually the OP will be thankful – I used to help over at .ORG and had 1 or 2 people a day did the same thing – or they would want to move the site around on their web site and would not read the instructions – even after saying READ THE INSTRUCTIONS – they still crashed – if the OP looks over there they should find an open thread on how to fix things

  That blog is a self-hosted WordPress.org blog, which we really can’t help with.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

  WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress via their Codex and Support Forums.
