    I am trying to change the name of my blog without necessarily going down the path of changing my URL quite yet. How can I do this? Is the title on my home page hard linked to my URL domain name?

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

    You have two options:

    1. You can use the theme customizer to change a site title under site identity https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

    2. re: changing a .wordpress.com site title
    The Site title (blog name) and/or the optional Tagline can be changed on the top of this page at any time. >Dashbaord > Settings > General … “save changes”.

    http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php
    * You will have to replace NAME_OF_BLOG withe the actual name of the blog in that URL.

    That is exactly where search engine spiders look for the site title and removing it from there can cause issues with getting your content indexed. Note that the site title (blog name) and blog address URL do not have to be the same but it’s better for SEO (search engine optimization) if they are the same.
