  I have just started my new blog and made the unfortunate discovery that the name I have chosen could be misinterpreted. “Heikospermaculture” refers to “Heiko’s Permaculture,” but I’m concerned a spam blocker might see the word “sperm” in the name. I am hoping I can make a change to my name without losing the content and comments I already have.
  I read the instructions for changing the name of my blog (I intend to just add a ‘-‘ between the s and the p) and it told me to go to the “my blogs” tab. There I am supposed to see my blog listed as well as a “change my blog” option I can click. When I go to the “my blogs” tag I do not see either the name of my blog nor a “change my blog” option. Has the format or the instructions for changing my blog name changed? What am I missing?
